A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics provide the next step in logical thought; introduction to proof and rigour, both numerically and algebraically, and applied problem solving are the key features of a Linear A level course. To that end, we offer both the Edexcel A level Mathematics course 9MA0 and A level Further Mathematics course 9FM0 to pupils in the sixth form. Our Offer: Edexcel A level Mathematics 9MA0 In A level Mathematics, the course splits into three streams – Pure Mathematics (Number, Algebra etc), Statistics (Introduction to Data Analysis and Probability) and Mechanics (Introduction to Classical Physics). All three of these streams are compulsory in all A level courses. Examination in the subject is by three, 2 hour papers: Paper 1 and 2 are both Pure Mathematics and Paper 3 is a combined Statistics and Mechanics paper. The Pure Mathematics content equates to two-thirds of the marks achieved and Statistics and Mechanics one-sixth of the marks, each. This course is spread across the full two years of study with, broadly speaking: The Lower 6th being a year of significant abstraction development, involving topics such as Exponentials and Logarithms, Trigonometric Equations and Integration in Pure Mathematics, The Binomial Distribution in Statistics and variable acceleration in Mechanics. The Upper 6th being a year of significant technique and problem-solving development, involving topics such as Parametric Equations, Differential Equations and Proof in Pure Mathematics, The Normal Distribution and Hypothesis Testing in Statistics and Forces in Equilibrium in Mechanics. In a typical year, the department has five A level Mathematics classes, with pupil numbers being between 10 and 15 pupils. Every class has two teachers. Outside of pursuing a course in Mathematics at university, our A level Mathematics pupils tend to use their qualification as support for other science subjects as university, especially in Engineering and Physical and Chemical Sciences, as well as a significant number that wish to apply for medicine.
Admission to the school is a conditional place based on achieving a minimum of 6x6 grade passes at GCSE; this is a minimum entry requirement and higher grades might be necessary in intended A Level subjects, namely the Sciences and Maths. Is Mathematics is for you? The answer is yes if you expect to achieve high grades at GCSE (a grade 7 or above at GCSE, or equivalent) and, perhaps more importantly, you hold a very strong interest in the subject.
