Course summary

The course covers advanced work in Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics (and, possibly, Additional Pure). The course is demanding but accessible to strong candidates.

Entry requirements

Students considering transfer to King’s Sixth Form are required to meet the entry requirements of an average of grade 6 or higher across eight GCSE subjects, with a minimum of a grade 5 in both Mathematics and English Language (university matriculation requirements). Most subjects recommend a grade 7 - 9 in a subject to be studied at A Level, and this is compulsory for Mathematics and Science subjects. In addition, subjects with a large mathematical content, such as Economics, require a minimum of grade 7 in Mathematics. It is very rare that a student holding less than grade 8 in GCSE Mathematics succeeds in this subject; strong algebraic skills and a preparedness to work hard are required.
