Course summary

The study of Further 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 Level of Further Mathematics is useful (and sometimes necessary) for many subjects at university and jobs thereafter. Boys taking A Level Further Mathematics will necessarily also take the A Level Mathematics.

Entry requirements

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. Boys starting a Further Mathematics course (which leads to two qualifications, one in Mathematics and one in Further Mathematics) must have a grade 8 or above at both Mathematics IGCSE and Further Mathematics GCSE. Boys who have not studied Further Mathematics GCSE and who are interested in A Level Further Mathematics should contact the Head of Mathematics directly.
