This is a linear A-level course, where students study pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics. Assessment is by exam only (three papers) and there is no coursework requirement. The most able mathematicians may wish to take ‘double maths’ – these students will complete A Level Mathematics in Year 12, followed by A Level Further Mathematics in Year 13.
For new students, entry to the Sixth Form is dependent on GCSE grades, an interview with the Headmaster and a school reference. To enter our Sixth Form and be successful, we like to see grade 7s in the GCSE subjects a student wishes to take at A Level (8s for Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths) or in relevant subjects, with at least six grades 6s overall. We also accept students onto BTEC Sport and Exercise Science plus one A Level. For this combination we like to see at least six grade 5s at GCSE overall, with a 7 in a relevant subject for the A Level. Below this attainment level, it is likely that we are not the right match for a student, although we are happy to discuss exceptional circumstances.
For A Level Maths there are three 2 hour exams in pure maths, pure and mechanics and pure and statistics.
