Students who are not taking A-Level maths often struggle as they are surprised by the amount of mathematical knowledge that they need in their other A-Level subjects; this is not just the Sciences, which are very heavily Maths based, but also a number of Humanities and Social Science subject. To support students, we offer Level 3 core maths (This is 40% of an A-Level and will account for 20 UCAS points; improving opportunities on students’ University applications). Core maths concentrates on skills and techniques used in other A-Level subjects. Lessons are prepared by liaising with other departments so as to use examples from other A-Level subjects. We time our lessons so that students meet mathematical concepts before they meet them in their other subjects. Core maths is especially useful for students taking science or social science A-Levels. However, due to its focus on real world applications of mathematics, it is beneficial to all students regardless of their choice of subjects.
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 5 in Mathematics.
