Maths A level is essential for many degree courses, and extremely useful for many more. According to UCAS it is the most widely required A level by UK universities. Furthermore, it is a lot of fun, as long as you are prepared to work hard and ask lots of questions!
Seven Grade 5's at GCSE. Grade 7 at GCSE for Maths & Science.
Pupils are entered for the Edexcel A2 A level. All pupils will study Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. Pure Mathematics comprises mainly algebra, calculus and trigonometry and is the heart of all Advanced Mathematics. Statistics builds on the GSCE work and brings in the real world of modelling and hypothesis testing, which underpin our “big data” driven commercial society. Mechanics helps us make sense of the Physical world and investigates in a precise manner how forces, moments and vectors help the world to run and even fly. There are three two-hour papers at the end of the two-year course. Two Pure and one Applied (Statistics and Mechanics). A scientific calculator is essential - Edexcal recommends either the basic Casio fx - 991EX model or the more advanced graphical calculator - the Casio fx - CG50. Throughout the Lower Sixth we will regularly assess all studying Mathematics to let them know if they are on track.
