The course is designed to develop students’ understanding of Mathematics in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment. We aim to develop students’ abilities to reason logically, to extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them to solve more difficult, unstructured problems. Students will be expected to use graphical calculators and computers efficiently and recognise their limitations. They should develop an awareness of the relevance of Mathematics in other fields of study, in the world of work and in society in general.
Students require a Grade 8 or 9 at GCSE/iGCSE to study A Level Mathematics. Analysis of data from recent years has shown that students who do not achieve the standard of Grade 8 or 9 at GCSE/iGCSE, struggle to achieve a C grade at A Level. There is a test in the first week of term based on the summer work set at Induction Day and your result will be used to confirm your suitability for the A Level Mathematics course.
