Everyone Takes Maths GCSE

Is GCSE maths failing the students it’s meant to help?

In this episode, Helen Mulley is joined by Dougald Tidswell, a secondary maths teacher with 20+ years’ experience, and Peter Mattock, former teacher and national secondary maths lead at Twinkl. Together, they challenge the assumption that everyone should take GCSE maths and explore what young people really need from maths education.
