You will have met at GCSE level many of the topics to be studied at A-level, but these will be extended and studied in greater depth. Exciting and powerful new techniques, such as calculus, are developed in Pure Mathematics and are applied to the real world through the study of Mechanics and Statistics. Further Mathematics, a separate A-level which may be taken additionally, follows a similar structure, with a broader range of topics. Students wishing to study Further Mathematics will complete the A-Level Mathematics course in Lower Sixth and then the Further Mathematics course in Year Upper Sixth. As a result, this will comprise two option blocks.
Students who obtain a grade 8 or 9 are encouraged to consider A-level Further Mathematics.
Three examination papers with a mix of question styles, from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems, will be taken at the end of Upper Sixth. It is expected that students will plan considerable time to review lessons and complete homework. The Mathematics Faculty monitors the progress of each individual student by using a variety of assessed homework and end of topic reviews.
