With foundation, the highest possible grade you can get is a C, however the questions are somewhat easier and more simplistic than those of the higher tier. In foundation you are able to get an F grade, whereas in higher tier if you do not get a C in the examination then you will get a U... Which is useless! Foundation is for people most likely to get fF- C grades, and higher tier is for those predicted C - A*.

Are gcse maths gcse english and gcse science the most important gcse subjects?

In short - Yes. Most people are aware that there are a number of "core" subjects which students need to study in order to gain good college and university places, and to succeed in the work place. Typically, GCSE English, GCSE Maths and the GCSE dual Science syllabus are the "big three" subjects in this respect, and most employers and further or higher education establishments stipulate grade C or above for GCSE Maths, GCSE English and GCSE dual science as the syllabus for each of these subjects is considered to teach students skills which are vital for all aspects of life.
