Course summary

We currently offer Mathematics A level and follow the AQA specification to provide continuity following on from GCSE. Students will have 5 lessons a week and are expected to complete at least 5 hours of independent study a week. The Mathematics course is made up of 66% Pure Mathematics, 17% Statistics and 17% Mechanics. Statistics will teach you how can reach conclusions from data and calculate the likelihood of an event occurring. Many subjects including sciences, humanities, and business/economics, for example, use statistical methods to prove their theories. The mechanics section teaches you about the motion of objects and the forces acting upon them and is extremely useful for careers in physics or engineering. Math is a fun but very challenging qualification, which is why we ask for a minimum of grade 6 (but ideally a grade 7), in GCSE math. It is a subject that requires real commitment and a love of math as ingredients for success.
