GCSE Algebra Boot Camp
Four weeks on the algebra that wins the most marks: the topics chosen from 246 real exam papers to target exactly where students gain (and lose) grades. Live, interactive, and backed by practice that sticks.
4 Saturdays: 31 Oct · 7 · 14 · 21 Nov
Higher 9:30 · Foundation 11:15 each Saturday
£79 early-bird · then £99
Higher & Foundation tracks
Live games & leaderboards
Weekly follow-up + progress tracking
Every topic is picked from our data on which algebra most separates the grades, not a generic revision list. You practise the highest-leverage skills, in the order that builds them.
HigherTarget grade 6 → 9
The steepest grade-separators: where 7/8/9 marks are actually won.
1
Manipulate
Expanding & factorising (incl. double brackets) · algebraic fractions
The foundation the rest of the camp builds on.
2
Solve
Quadratics (factorising + formula) · simultaneous equations · inequalities
The heaviest grade-separators. Watch-out: giving both roots.
3
Graph
Straight lines (parallel & perpendicular) · recognise & sketch curves
Straight-line graphs = the single biggest algebra grade-separator.
4
Functions, sequences & rearranging
f(x), composite & inverse · nth term (linear + quadratic) · changing the subject
Functions: highest-value, most room to improve.
FoundationTarget grade 3 → 5
The accessible, high-frequency algebra that unlocks the grade 4/5 crossover.
1
Speak algebra
Expression / equation / identity · like terms · substitution · function machines
Opens on quick wins to build confidence.
2
Expand & solve
Expand brackets · factorise · solve linear equations
Core grade 4/5 marks. Watch-out: sign errors & the balance method.
3
Sequences & straight lines
nth term · continue sequences · coordinates · y = mx + c basics
Watch-out: term-to-term vs position-to-term.
4
Formulae, inequalities & technique
Substitute & rearrange formulae · inequalities · worded problems (AO3)
Targets where Foundation students bleed the most marks.
