Mathematics helps one understand many aspects of the world. It is an exciting and challenging subject. The pure side provides the tools and techniques required to analyse and solve problems. The applied side provides opportunities to use mathematical models to understand and predict outcomes to real-world problems. Mathematics is recognised as one of the most respected and challenging A levels and is therefore highly rated by university admissions tutors and employers. It can lead to careers in almost anything. Anything to do with the computer industry requires mathematics, and statistics is an area of the subject that is becoming increasingly important, for example in manipulating and analysing large databases.
We look for students who exhibit the following characteristics: • a strong interest in education and learning. • a mature approach to learning and interacting with staff and students. • exemplary behaviour and attitude. • a strong desire to contribute to the school community inclusive of extra-curricular activities. • a willingness to work hard towards goals. Admission Requirements: • Completed Application Form • Copy of Passport Data Page • Previous 2 years' transcripts • Proof of English (if available) • Successful Interview with Bales College staff member English Requirements: • Lower school – English requirements for lower school applicants varies dependent upon which year group you are applying to. • Sixth Form – students over the age of 18 must have an overall IELTS score of 4.5, sufficient to meet the CEFR B1 requirement.
