Further Mathematics is a separate A-level from Mathematics; it extends the core topics and introduces new material normally encountered during the first year of a degree course. It is therefore a particularly demanding A-level, although many find it even more exciting and rewarding than single Maths. Anyone considering applying to a top university to study a subject with substantial mathematical content would be well advised to give serious thought to taking this option; in recent years, a good number of the students taking Further Maths have gained Oxbridge places.
Our offers of places into Year 12 are conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of six 8s or 9s at GCSE, including Grades 8 or 9 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level.
This is a linear course consisting of three written papers. Paper 1: 2hr40min on the compulsory core content. 50% of the overall grade Paper 2: 2hr15min on the major course. 1/3 of the overall grade Paper 3: 1hr15min on the minor course. 1/6 of the overall grade
