A Level further mathematics must be combined with mathematics A Level and this means further mathematics counts as two options and therefore must be selected in columns one and three. The teaching in these two columns then covers both the mathematics and the further mathematics A Level content. The mathematics and further mathematics courses are usually taught together in a dedicated group, which has a mixture of directly taught lessons and independent study lessons. The topics covered in further mathematics help broaden the pupils’ mathematical experience and knowledge beyond the A Level mathematics course.
The vast majority of Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupils at Exeter School continue into the sixth form but there has also been a long tradition of a significant number of new entrants from other schools. To qualify for entry into the Lower Sixth, applicants and current Upper Fifth pupils need to achieve a minimum of three grade 7 and three grade 6 GCSEs as well as passing GCSE English and mathematics and have a positive reference/school record (that includes conduct, attendance and punctuality). The further mathematics teaching takes place in column one and column three. Pupils would usually have a GCSE grade 8 or 9 and should have the potential to achieve grade A* in A Level mathematics.
Each of the four areas above is examined by a written paper that is 1 hour 30 minutes in length. Pupils must answer all questions in each paper and calculators are allowed throughout. Each paper is worth 25% of the overall qualification.
