Course summary

The Mathematics course provides a good foundation for either the Science or Humanities-based Mathematicians or for students who enjoy Mathematics in its own right just as much as we do. All students will study Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics modules for their A level. The Pure maths covers areas such as Algebra, Co-ordinate Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus. There are a number of areas on the Pure papers which relate to the GCSE Higher paper: factorization, inequalities, sketching and transformation of graphs, trigonometry and surds will seem quite familiar. Mechanics and Statistics include Statistical sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Statistical hypothesis testing, Kinematics and Forces and Newton’s laws. This new specification has 100% prescribed content and therefore students do not have a choice of topics.

Entry requirements

To study 3 or 4 Advanced Level subjects we require at least 5 grade 6 passes at GCSE. To study A Level Mathematics a grade 7 is required at GCSE Higher Level.
