We follow the Edexcel specification. A typical lesson will involve some traditional teaching, group work and discussion, looking at questions, applications of core maths concepts and real-life problem solving. Maths students have four and a half hours of lessons per week, whilst those studying Further Maths will have an additional four hours of lessons per week. Throughout the course students are encouraged to think logically, practically and analytically, developing skills which are useful across all kinds of disciplines and careers. A-level Mathematics and Further Mathematics is a good choice for students considering higher education in any science or maths-based course, ranging from computer science, biochemical sciences, natural sciences, engineering, medical sciences and psychology to statistics, economics, accountancy, management and actuarial science.
