The Maths A level course builds upon number, ratio and proportion, algebra, shape space and measure, and statistics and probability from GCSE and splits into 3 key strands. All students will be assessed on their knowledge of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics at the end of the course. In Pure Mathematics you study proof, algebra, and functions, coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, numerical methods, and vectors. In statistics, you will study statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions, and statistical hypothesis testing, and in Mechanics, you will study quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces, and Newton’s laws and moments. The assessment objectives include a considerable emphasis on modeling, problem-solving, and reasoning and for this reason, any students considering this course must have Mathematical resilience.
Students are required to have a Grade 7 in Mathematics GCSE and an aptitude for algebra is vital along with a resilient approach to learning. Students who achieve a Grade 6 will be considered but through teacher recommendation and the request of their GCSE scripts for checking. For external students, we will contact their current school to ensure suitability for the course. Those only achieving the minimum requirements need to be realistic about the grade they might achieve at A level as the difficulty level and grade boundaries increase significantly from GCSE.
