Syllabus
Up until 2011, pupils were required to take an art at GCSE level. This restriction was removed for the then year 9s.
gollark: It's not mandatory, it's one of the module options.
gollark: It's under "further pure 2", along with exotic topics like number theory, matrix algebra, weird recurrence relations, and group theory. I wonder why.
gollark: You do arc length integration? That's part of one of the furtherererest further maths topics in UK maths curricula (or, well, the one used by the exam board my school uses).
gollark: I have "mgollark" downloaded somewhere, which is a 117M-parameter GPT-2 model trained on 11MB of my Discord messages on free Google Colab GPUs.
