Mathematics is studied both in its own right, but also as an enabling subject, one that underpins the way so many ideas in Business, Economics, Geography and the Sciences are communicated. The mathematical skills of being able to think abstractly, logically and deductively, to construct a rigorous argument and to draw sound conclusions from appropriate evidence are highly desirable and transferable to many different settings. Mathematicians can tease out the nuances of statistical data and can model motion. In the Sixth Form, Mathematics increasingly becomes algebraically rather than arithmetically based. Further Mathematics A Level is taken once the full (first) single Mathematics qualification is taken at the end of the Lower Sixth. Mathematics must be studied within the IB Diploma, though there are three different levels to reflect students’ differing levels of ability and interest.
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
