Mathematics

Entry Requirements

At Radley we do not welcome this change. It means that some boys who, in the past, would have worked hard and gained a respectable grade in Maths at A-level, are no longer suited to the course. Boys are strongly urged to listen to the advice of their Maths teacher before choosing the subject. Success in IGCSE does not automatically imply success at A-level. Arguments like ‘I really like Maths’ or ‘I need Maths for my university course’ should be set against the reality that the new A-level is very much more demanding than its predecessor.
