Some people argue that Mathematics is only used in a classroom, and boils down merely to complicated formulae and using a calculator. However, Mathematics is everywhere: it is a universal language which can be applied in almost every aspect of life. As a department, we endeavour to instil in our students a sense of wonder at how Mathematics manifests in the real world and can explain many different things. We do this whilst helping them to become problem-solvers who show resilience, are confident in explaining their methods and ideas and who are resourceful, creative and collaborative. In the Sixth Form, we offer the Edexcel A-level Mathematics course, where students study a mixture of Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. We also offer A-level Further Mathematics, which provides an excellent and thorough preparation for Mathematics or a mathematically-related field at university. For students with an interest in Oxbridge, we provide bespoke support and tuition for MAT and STEP.
Year 11 students transfer automatically into the Sixth Form, provided that they have gained at least five subjects at grade 6 and above, including English Language and mathematics, and with no less than a grade 6 (ideally a 7, 8 or 9 grade) in the subjects, or related, with which they wish to continue at A level. In addition, the student’s record of conduct and attitude must meet the appropriately high expectations of the school’s Sixth Form
