A level of Maths is studied during Year 12 and will be examined in June of Year 13. Successful completion of A2 Maths will allow entry to A Level Further Maths in Year 13, again being examined in June of Year 13. Both courses consist of a varied range of core and statistical and mechanical skills. Students are expected to both demonstrate knowledge and skills and apply them using mathematical thinking and understanding. Problem-solving using these skills is key.

Topic Content: Core: Proof Complex Numbers Matrices Further Algebra and Functions Further Calculus Further Vectors Polar Coordinates Hyperbolic Functions Differential Equations Numerical Methods Statistics: Discrete Random Variables Poisson Distribution Type I and II Errors Continuous Random Variables Chi-Squared Tests for Association Exponential Distribution Inference Confidence Intervals Mechanics: Dimensional Analysis Momentum and Collision Work, Energy, and Power Circular Motion Centres of Mass and Moments
By individual discussion with the Maths Department but must have a grade 8 or above in Maths.
All exams will be taken at the end of Year 13 Further Maths Paper 1 - 2 hours - All core content Paper 2 - 2 hours - All core content Paper 3 - 2 hours - 50% mechanics content and 50% statistics content Regular in-class assessments are completed throughout the 2 years of study. Students are expected to do a substantial amount of revision and practice as independent study in their time outside of the classroom. Support is available for students needing additional help, both as 1 to 1 with their subject teacher and as formal revision classes held after school and/or at lunchtime during exam season.
