We currently study Edexcel Mathematics, which comprises two pure mathematics papers and an applied paper which is split between mechanics and statistics. The A Level Mathematics course is designed to build on and formalise the expertise gained at GCSE, where mathematics rightly takes its place in the core curriculum both for its intrinsic beauty and for its ubiquitous applications. Pure mathematics involves the study of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, vectors and numerical methods. Students learn to construct rigorous mathematical arguments and to apply their knowledge in a variety of contexts. In statistics, students learn a variety of techniques to analyse and represent data. They set up statistical models to represent real life situations and to draw conclusions about them and undertake practical data collection and analysis to test hypotheses. The study of mechanics involves students setting up mathematical models to represent situations in the real world. They apply their knowledge of physical principles and mathematical techniques to solve problems involving forces and movement. Mathematics is a building block for many different courses and is particularly useful for STEM s ubjects, although it can also be studied alongside arts subjects for pupils who have a broad interest. The focus on problem solving and logic is seen by universities and employers as a key skill and as such is an enabling qualification. We have a large department, in excess of 12 staff who teach at A Level. Strong schemes of work and regular assignments ensure that the pupils benefit from the wealth of experience within the department. Several staff have had other careers and bring this real-life knowledge of mechanics and statistics into their teaching. We are also lucky to have some staff who specialise in running extension classes for those who have interest.
GCSE Mathematics Grade 8
A Level Mathematics is a linear course. Three, two hour, equally weighted written examinations will be taken at the end of the Upper 6. Paper 1 and Paper 2 are both Pure Mathematics papers and Paper 3 will be based on Mechanics and Statistics.
