Further Maths can be taken as an additional AS or A Level; whichever option you choose will be in addition to A Level Maths and all exams will be taken at the end of Upper Sixth. The Further Maths AS or A Level is designed to stretch and interest good mathematicians. It requires two further exams for the AS and four for the full A Level. It is invaluable if you hope to study university Mathematics, and is of great benefit to anyone considering a highly numerate degree like Economics, Engineering or Physics. It counts as an additional subject for university entrance and you will study Further Maths alongside the Mathematics A Level. In both the Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth, you will have some additional lessons in your spare lesson block in order to complete all the extra work required for either the AS or full A Level.
Places are offered subject to candidates' achieving a minimum of 42 grade points on the best seven GCSEs including English and Maths. Normally we would expect at least a grade 7 (or an A grade) in each subject to be studied in the Lower Sixth and at least a 6 (or a B grade) in English and Maths. You should expect to get at least a solid level 7 or a level 8 or 9 in GCSE or IGCSE. If you think there is doubt about this, you should speak to your Maths teacher. For Further Maths, we strongly recommend a minimum of a level 8.
