The study of mathematics at A level trains the mind to look at any situation in a variety of ways. It promotes logical thought processes, extends the powers of reasoning and provides a real sense of achievement when a complex problem is finally solved. The subject provides an excellent foundation for further study and employment. It is an A level which complements many other A levels such as the Sciences, Computing, Geography, Psychology, Business Studies, History and other subjects. It is essential for a whole range of degree courses in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science and helpful for a whole variety of others. Pupils are advised to check the entry criteria for their proposed degree courses. The department follows the Edexcel examination board.
In late January the Director of Admissions allocates House places. At this time as much account as possible is taken of any preference a pupil has stated. In June, three months prior to entry, pupils visit the College to meet with Heads of Department, Housemasters, key members of staff and the Guidance Department to discuss A-level choices and tertiary education options. In August GCSE results are sent to Marlborough. All candidates (Scholars included) must achieve at least a six-grade BS or six 6’s in their GCSEs including English and Mathematics (in practice, most successful candidates will get more GCSEs at considerably higher grades than these). In September pupils arrive to begin their education at Marlborough.
The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Mathematics consists of three externallyexamined papers. Pupils must complete all assessment in May/June in any single year. Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1 (*Paper code: 9MA0/01) Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2 (*Paper code: 9MA0/02) Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics (*Paper code: 9MA0/03)
