No it does not have functions you need like Equation mode for the quadratic formula and quadratic nth term this is more a calculator for foundation you can use it for higher but you might struggle with some of the questions

These functions are not required for GCSE maths. Maybe another calculator provides an advantage but it's incorrect to say that students will "struggle" without it.

It is allowed but I would not recommend buying it unless you are planning to continue studying maths at A-level/Degree because it's so bloody expensive and not at all worth it for one use. Instead I recommend the FX 991ES PLUS which is cheaper and has more than enough functions for GCSE and it can solve quadratic/simultaneous/cubic equations and can also solve simple equations.

However neither of these calculators are required for GCSE and you can always get along fine with a good old 85gt (make sure it has a solar panel tho)
