Mathematics

Assessment

The mathematics department follows Edexcel course specifications. In the first and second year, both pure and applied mathematics is taught. At the end of the first year, the students will be internally assessed. At the end of Year 13, the students sit three two-hour papers. Two of the papers are core-based (accounting for 66% of the content) and the remaining paper covers the applied part of the course. Each paper is worth 100 marks. Calculators are allowed in all of the examinations.
