        The subject content (above) matches that set out in the Department for Education’s Mathematics GCSE subject content and assessment objectives document.

        The expectation is that:

        • All students will develop confidence and competence with the content identified by standard type
        • All students will be assessed on the content identified by the standard and the underlined type; more highly attaining students will develop confidence and competence with all of this content
        • Only the more highly attaining students will be assessed on the content identified by bold type. The highest attaining students will develop confidence and competence with the bold content.
