Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

This is a demanding course for those with a passion for mathematics. It is only suitable for the most able pupils who would be expected to gain a grade 8 or 9 at GCSE. A student's current teacher will be best placed to advise on their suitability for this course but we are hoping to attract further mathematicians who have shown considerable promise in Year 11. The course specification provides some choice in the modules to be covered and no decision is required until pupils enter the second year. For example, those wishing to pursue a financial career may opt towards modules in statistics whereas future engineers may prefer to select mechanics.
