Mathematics

Entry Requirements

Students wishing to take Mathematics must have at least a grade 7 at GCSE, and it should be noted that an exam mark of 60% gains a grade 7 at GCSE but a C at A Level. In preparation for this jump, any student choosing to take A Level Mathematics will be given a bridging pack to complete over the summer before the start of the Lower Sixth, which will focus on the core skills from GCSE that are crucial to make a successful start to the A Level course. A good pass in A Level Mathematics is highly prized by universities and employers, and this is one reason why it is so popular with Lancing College students. It is an ideal complement to the sciences and/or Economics, but is also taken by many students as part of a balanced arts and sciences curriculum.
