A Level Mathematics progresses from the material studied at the top end of the IGCSE course. The qualification develops logical thought and an ability to reason through difficult problems; Sixth Form mathematicians quickly build up processes of analysis which are important across a variety of curriculum areas. Whilst dedicating time to exam technique and preparation, the Mathematics department is keen to develop a love of the subject and an appreciation for the links between topic areas. This allows our Sixth Form students to benefit from a broad mathematical experience which improves understanding as well as basic techniques. The course is linear. This means that there is no opportunity for students to leave with an AS qualification after the LXX, and assessment takes the form of three 2-hour papers (Pure 1, Pure 2 and Applied) at the end of the XX. The course is split between Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in the ratio 2:1.
