Mathematics

Course summary

This is a linear course, taught over two years, with three two-hour exams at the end of the Upper Sixth, pupils will study Pure Maths in addition to both Statistics and Mechanics. The course aims to give learners an excellent foundation for using mathematics in higher education courses or other career pathways, leading students to acquire skills they can apply in a wide range of contexts. The Pure side of the course focuses on algebra, graphs and calculus, building on firm foundations built through the GCSE or IGCSE course. The applied side is split between statistics and mechanics. These introduce students to more advanced statistical analysis, including large data sets, and an introduction to forces and motion.
