Statistics surround us every day. Understanding statistics is a crucial life skill. More than that, exploring how statistics are developed and utilised is truly fascinating!
This fantastic online GCSE Statistics course, authored and tutored by Dr Alexa Simm, enables students to cultivate an understanding of statistical thinking and its real-world applications. Being one of the most adaptable areas of mathematics, it equips students with the ability to collect, analyse, interpret, and present data.
​
GCSE Statistics is a popular choice among home educators and provides a strong foundation for numerous other subjects, including mathematics, psychology, sociology or the sciences. Some students take Statistics GCSE as a stepping stone to Mathematics GCSE, while others use it to maintain their math skills after completing it early.
Providing students with a solid foundation and essential knowledge in statistics and data, GCSE Statistics opens up a range of options for future studies and career opportunities - from accountant to meteorologist!
