Course summary

Mathematics is a core subject in the curriculum and Sedbergh's facilities and teaching team provide an ideal learning environment for all pupils. The Mathematics Department occupies the upper floor of a purpose-built modern building close to the centre of the School campus. At the core lies a well-stocked library covering most aspects of mathematics. Classrooms are networked to the school's intranet and have multi-media projectors and screens. There are around 35-40 pupils in every year group who study A level Maths. We follow the Edexcel A-level Maths and Further Maths syllabuses. The A level consists of 3 exams: two papers in Pure Maths and one in applied Maths and these are taken at the end of the course. Further Maths is 3 more exams consisting of Further Pure Maths, Further Mechanics and Decision Maths. These are also taken at the end of the course.
