Course summary

We offer Further Maths at both AS and A Level. Pupils opting for either course should be strong Mathematicians. The minimum expectation is (alongside a motivated enthusiasm for the subject) a grade 8 or 9 at GCSE and experience of some extension mathematics, such as Additional Mathematics, is desirable. A Level Further Mathematics is another complete A Level and has to be taken in conjunction with Mathematics A Level. Pupils must start Lower Sixth with four A Levels if one is Further Mathematics. Pupils will be working through the Further Mathematics AS content in the first year. In the Upper Sixth the pupils will then focus more on the more challenging Further Mathematics content. Anyone wanting to study Mathematics beyond the Sixth Form, or Physics, Engineering and Chemistry at Oxbridge, should be seriously considering Further Mathematics.
