Mathematics touches more aspects of modern living than ever before – communications, media, and financial management as well as the more traditional computer and physical sciences, engineering, technology, and business-related subjects. Mathematics has long been regarded as a ‘facilitating subject’ giving future employers, universities, or colleges clear evidence of highly valued numeracy and problem-solving skills irrespective of the actual role/course being considered. Here at Stratford upon Avon School, we have staff who, before becoming mathematics teachers, have many years of direct experience in the application of mathematics within a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and public sector organizations – not as mathematicians but as engineers and management accountants and scientists. In some cases, this has also involved working overseas. Mathematics is a ‘facilitating subject’ offering evidence of numeracy and problem-solving skills and a key partner for Physics. A-level mathematics supports a wide range of university-level mathematics courses and also supports an even wider range of science, engineering, economics, business studies, and computer science courses (and indeed may be an essential requirement for certain courses/universities). It also supports a wide range of A-level entry specialist and general management careers (e.g. accountancy, engineering, and retail companies).
Five GCSEs at Grades 4-9 including English Language and Maths 6 in Mathematics
Three equally weighted written papers, each of 120 minutes. Papers 1 & 2 are pure Mathematics and Paper 3 is statistics and Mechanics combined.
