Mathematics provides a means of communication which is powerful, concise and unambiguous. Its study develops logical and analytical thought processes that make mathematicians excellent problem solvers. As well as being a subject in its own right, Mathematics is an important element in many other disciplines and fields where the power of Mathematics to explain and predict events has made possible many technological advances. Students will be taught the A-level Mathematics content, alongside the Further Mathematics content in both years. They will need to take a further four examinations at the end of the Senior Sixth to form the Further Mathematics A-level qualification, alongside the three examinations for the Single Maths A-level qualification. Students will study Core Pure Mathematics, which develops the topics covered in the Single Mathematics course and introduces new concepts, such as complex numbers and matrices. They will also study at least two other options, which may include Further Statistics, Further Mechanics, Further Pure or Decision Mathematics. Further Mathematics is a demanding course requiring a very secure understanding of GCSE techniques and beyond. The most able mathematicians find it enjoyable and immensely satisfying but students are advised to seek advice from their teacher about their suitability for the course. Students considering studying Medicine at university should be aware that some institutions will only accept one of Mathematics or Further Mathematics at A-level. These students should make sure they study two other subjects to A-level standard as well.
We welcome applications for admission into the Sixth Form, which is normally conditional upon students achieving at least a grade A or 7 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study, good passes in English and Mathematics and having at least five GCSEs at grade 7 or above. Applicants studying Science and Additional Science at GCSE should note that a grade 7 or above in Mathematics is required if they wish to study a Science subject at A level.
Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 (1.5 hours, 75 marks). Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 (1.5 hours, 75 marks). Paper 3: Further Maths Option 1 (1.5 hours, 75 marks). Paper 4: Further Maths Option 2 (1.5 hours, 75 marks). Each paper is worth 25% of the final grade.
