Further Mathematics extends the work covered for A‐level Mathematics both in scope and depth. It is intended for the student who finds the work for mathematics A‐level relatively straighƞorward and who has the interest in the subject to take it to a more rigorous level. This is either because of an interest in mathematics itself or because of a wish to take a subject such as engineering or physics at a university where a high level of mathematical preparedness is assumed. The majority of the teaching will be by standard classroom teaching: discussion of a topic, and the provision of notes and examples. Exercises on each topic will be set and marked regularly; it is by using these exercises, together with thorough and continuous learning of new material that most of a student’s learning takes place. Students are given opportunities to use technology such as graphical calculators and online graphing software to further develop their understanding. We also encourage students to participate in the UKMT senior team and individual maths challenge competitions.
Applicants who wish to join us in the Sixth Form have the opportunity to attend a Sixth Form Open Evening. They will then be invited into school to meet Mr Softley, our Assistant Head (Sixth Form & Futures), followed by an invitation to attend our Sixth Form Taster Day. An offer will be made subject to our entry requirements of at least 5 GCSEs grade 4 or above (including at least a 6/B grade in chosen A level subjects).
