The study of Mathematics in the Sixth Form will develop a range of mathematical skills and techniques, as well as an appreciation of the intrinsic beauty of the subject. Boys will develop their rigour, tenacity and accuracy and learn to apply these skills in a wide range of contexts, both real-world and abstract. They will cultivate an understanding of how different branches of mathematics are connected and learn to recognise how a situation may be represented mathematically. Mathematics is a crucial element in the study of any scientific discipline while also being a fascinating subject in its own right. A one-year Maths course supplements subjects such as Biology, Economics, Geography or Psychology for which some basic knowledge of calculus and statistics is useful. Due to the broad range of topics, high course content and standard of assessment the course should not be viewed as an easy option. A Level of Mathematics is useful (and often necessary) for many subjects at university and jobs thereafter.
Successful candidates will be offered a place conditional on specified grades at I/GCSE, typically a minimum of six I/GCSEs in grades 8-9. Sporting, creative and other talents are also important as they form an integral part of the Sixth Form programme. Experience shows that the step up from IGCSE to Sixth Form Maths is significant. Due to this increase in difficulty, boys starting the A-level mathematics course should have a grade 8 at IGCSE. Any boy who does not achieve this grade but wishes to take A-level mathematics will need to speak to the Head of Mathematics.
