Our mission of inclusion, ensuring every student is challenged in ways that align with their personal goals and aspirations, is powerfully reflected in the achievements of our Year 11 Further Maths students. This remarkable cohort not only completed the demanding two‑year IGCSE Mathematics course in just one year but also achieved results that set a new standard for excellence.
Exceptional results in IGCSE Mathematics
In October 2025, 44 Year 11 Further Maths students sat their IGCSE Mathematics exams under the guidance of Mr Marc and Mr Supasit. Every single student earned a Level 9, the highest grade possible and equivalent to a top A*, with two students, Alyssa and Miae, achieving perfect scores of 200/200.
This accomplishment demonstrates not only academic excellence but also the resilience and determination of the students, who balanced accelerated learning with the demands of their wider studies.
Academic excellence and future pathways
Mathematics teacher Mr Supasit reflected on the significance of this achievement:
“Completing a two‑year IGCSE Mathematics course in just one year is an extraordinary achievement, and their successful results not only demonstrate academic excellence but also equip them with advanced problem‑solving, logical reasoning, and analytical skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom. These abilities provide a strong foundation for future studies and careers in mathematics, engineering, computer science, economics, and other fields where critical thinking and quantitative expertise are essential.”
His words highlight how the skills gained through this accelerated programme extend well beyond exam results, preparing students for success in higher education and professional fields.
Teacher support and student motivation
Behind these results lies a strong framework of support provided by the mathematics department. Mr Marc explained how the team ensured students could thrive in such a demanding programme:
“To help students succeed in such an accelerated programme, we made sure support was always available. From after‑school study sessions and small peer‑learning groups to regular office hours where students could ask questions and get one‑on‑one guidance, we created a structure that challenged them without overwhelming them. This balance allowed students to stay motivated, manage the pace, and achieve results that reflect both their talent and the strength of our teaching community.”
Looking ahead to Further Mathematics
With their IGCSE Mathematics success behind them, the students are now turning their focus to the IGCSE Further Mathematics exams scheduled for the summer.
What is IGCSE Further Mathematics?
The IGCSE Further Mathematics course is designed for students who have already mastered the standard syllabus and want to extend their knowledge into more advanced areas. It covers topics such as:
Advanced algebra and functions
Matrices and vectors
Trigonometry and complex numbers
Calculus (differentiation and integration)
Proof and logical reasoning
This challenging curriculum provides a strong foundation for higher‑level study in mathematics, engineering, and the sciences.
