The course covers a broad range of topics enabling Pupils to develop further understanding of the subject, acquiring appropriate skills and techniques along the way. They will also develop the ability to think clearly and logically to ensure a suitable foundation for further study of mathematics and other related disciplines. All this will help Pupils appreciate how mathematical ideas can be applied in their every day work. The A-level course no longer follows a modular structure, meaning that all aspects of the course (Pure and Applied - Statistics and Mechanics) are taught cumulatively and collaboratively where applicable. They are also assessed in this manner. During Year 12 Pupils will learn the basics of pure mathematics and the foundations of both statistics and mechanics. In Year 13, pupils will build on the pure mathematics and further their statistics and mechanics understanding from Year 12.
Pupils need a good understanding of mathematics and will have taken GCSE at Higher Level and achieved at least a grade 6.
All topics covered are assessed in three 1 hour 30 exams in the summer of Year 13 only. AS examinations are now decoupled from the A-level, meaning the end assessment at the end of A2 is the sole indicator of the overall grade achieved. We do not, as a school enter Pupils for the AS examinations. There is no coursework element.
