Maths is a powerful tool with a huge range of applications. At OHS we believe everyone has the capacity for mathematical success and strive to support the development of essential skills in all our students as well as showing them how this creative, exciting, beautiful subject is relevant to their lives. Maths is the most popular A Level subject at OHS. We follow the Edexcel courses for Maths and Further Maths which both balance a core of Pure Maths with Statistics and Mechanics and offer the girls the breadth and depth of mathematical skills required for a huge variety of university courses. They meet a wide range of ideas and concepts from the abstract to the real-world (firing crossbows and analysing the habits of a ‘typical teenager’ can help them put their knowledge in context) and focus on approaching problems creatively, logically and with an eye for detail.
External applications are warmly invited for Sixth Form (Year 12) entry. Our minimum entry requirements are at least 5 A*/A grades or grade 7 or above at GCSE, and it is expected that you will achieve an A* or grade 8/9 in the subjects you want to study at A Level. In addition, external candidates are required to achieve at least a grade A, or grade 7 or above, in English Language and Mathematics. Should an applicant wish to change their subject choices following tests, offer or acceptance of the offer, we reserve the right to re-test and/or re-interview.
In adition to the exams for A Level Maths, you will take four equally weighted 1½ hour exams for A Level.
