Education A to Z
Education and Curriculum Terms: A Guide for Students and Teachers
Please note: This page explains a word or a process in education. It is general information about the system, the law and the guidance in England — not advice about your child, your school or your exam. If a decision is going against you, get advice from one of the free services we link to before you agree to anything or miss a deadline. If you are revising, check your own exam board's specification: boards word things differently and yours is the one that marks you.
Revising? We write GCSE revision songs — a playlist covering most subjects and the English set texts. Listen to the revision playlist.

F
Free school meals
Also called FSM, Universal infant free school meals
Meals paid for by the state, on a means test — and separately, for all infants regardless of income.
Freedom of information and subject access
Two ways to get information out of a school or council. They are not the same request.
Frequency trees and two-way tables
Two ways of organising counts across two categories.
Functional Skills
Practical English, maths and digital qualifications, at levels below and alongside GCSE.
Functions and graph transformations
A rule taking an input to an output, and what happens when you shift or stretch it.
G
GCSE
Also called General Certificate of Secondary Education, Grades 9 to 1
The main qualification at the end of year 11, graded 9 to 1 rather than A* to G.
Geometric reasoning
Proving an angle or a property using stated rules. The marks are for the reasons, not the number.
Gifted and talented
Provision for pupils working well beyond age expectations. Also a SEND question.
Glacial landscapes
How ice shapes land, and the landforms it leaves behind.
Something missing?
If there is a word or a process you have been nodding along to, tell us and we will write it up. This library exists because of the questions people were too polite, or too tired, to ask.
