A Level Mathematics is a fascinating subject that develops analytical and creative problem solving skills. One of the main strengths of the subject is that it is such an important tool for so many other disciplines. For a student intending to be a physicist, engineer, programmer, designer, chemist, ecologist, zoologist, pharmacist, geographer, geologist, doctor, dentist or economist the more mathematics that they know the better. Mathematics is an essential tool in any technological subject, in business and in commerce primarily because it provides a means of communication which is powerful concise and unambiguous. The new A Level is linear with exams at the end of the second year but all the AS content will be required knowledge for the A Level course and all the AS content will be taught in Year 12. The Maths A Level will consist of pure and applied mathematics. The Pure Maths at AS will introduce techniques for dealing with nonlinear equations, such as calculus and logarithms, as well as extending the GCSE work on coordinate geometry, trigonometry and vectors.
Sixth Form requires six passes at GCSE Level (Grades 9-5) including English and at least a Grade 4 in Maths. A GCSE Grade 6 is required in a subject if you would like to continue it at A-Level, but a high Grade 5 will be considered (from Higher Tier examinations only if applicable). GCSE Grade 7 highly recommended, but a high Grade 6 will be considered.
