Students applying to A Level Mathematics are expected to have achieved a minimum of High Grade 6 in Maths and a Grade 6 in Science, preferably Physics. Since 2017 in Maths A Level all students study both Statistics and Mechanics (comprising 1/3 of the course) and Pure Mathematics (2/3 of the course). In Pure, students will cover a range of topics including Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus, Exponentials, Logarithms and Vectors. In Applied, topics will include Probability, Correlation, Binomial and Normal Distributions, Hypothesis Testing, Kinematics and Forces and Newton’s Laws. Taking Mathematics at A level will give you the opportunity to develop your powers of reasoning, mathematical techniques, thinking skills and imagination with regard to solving problems. This is a subject which becomes increasingly fascinating as you study it at higher levels. The power and yet simplicity of some of the concepts and ideas you will meet may surprise you. The skills that you will acquire on this course are extremely useful and you will be introduced to areas of mathematics that are commonly used in fields as diverse as biology, chemistry, physics, economics, psychology, computing and engineering. Students will find that an A level in Mathematics is highly regarded by employers and is an asset on any degree course.
Grade 6 in GCSE Maths.
There are three papers at the end of Year 13 – Pure 1, Pure 2 and Applied. All are 2 hours long, permit use of a calculator, and are worth one third of the marks.
