Tormead mathematicians follow the Edexcel course. It is made up of two-thirds pure mathematics and one-third applied mathematics. The introductory applied modules for statistics and mechanics are studied. Course units – description and assessment Papers 1 and 2 Pure Mathematics (67% of A Level) Students study proof, algebra and function, coordinate geometry, sequences and series. trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, numerical methods, differentiation, integration and vectors. Assessed by written exams. Statistics and Mechanics (33% of A Level) Students study applied mathematical topics covering both statistics and mechanics. In statistics they study sampling, data presentation and interpretation, correlation, regression, probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing. In mechanics, students study kinematics, forces and Newton’s Laws.
Conditional offers are made in early December. Students are expected to achieve a minimum of eight GCSE passes with at least seven at Grade 7 or above. We also expect the students to obtain a Grade 7 or above in those subjects they wish to study in Sixth Form.
