Mathematics is the language of the sciences. In A Level Mathematics, you will not only learn advanced techniques, concepts and equations but you will also develop your skills of proof, problem solving and mathematical modelling. Though a large part of the course is made up of pure mathematics (algebra, geometry and calculus) we will apply these skills to two main areas: statistics and mechanics. In statistics, we will analyse a large data set, search for patterns and test hypotheses by calculating probabilities. In mechanics, we study forces and motion and use this to model real-life situations.
Minimum of a Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics with strong algebraic manipulation skills
Assessment is by examinations. There are three papers, taken at the end of year 13: pure, pure mechanics, and statistics. Each paper is 2 hours and worth 100 marks (equally weighted). Regular Praising Stars assessments will take place on specific topics to help provide an indication of attainment and provide feedback for students to allow them to improve.
