Course summary

The magic of learning starts by discovering our students’ strengths and the unique way they relate to Mathematics. One of the pleasures of teaching comes from the fact that each individual is unique and has a unique way of looking at the Mathematics, that we teach. The AS and A-level curriculums in Mathematics in England include: • Linear structure: AS has been decoupled from A-level, and all assessments will take place at the end of the course. Exam questions may draw on the content of the whole A-level. • Emphasis: There is more emphasis on problem-solving, reasoning and modelling, and a requirement for the use of technology to permeate teaching and learning. • Content: The content of AS and A-level Mathematics is fixed. It includes Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics (including analysis of large data sets).

Entry requirements

There are GCSE grade requirements for some options. Students taking A-levels will need to have achieved certain grades and skills to enable them to succeed in these courses. In English, Mathematics and Science it is GCSE Grade 7. Other subjects also have grade criteria that should be checked with teachers.
