Course summary

Any pupil applying to study a degree in a STEM subject should also consider taking Further Mathematics alongside A Level Mathematics. Further Mathematics is considered as a separate A Level in its own right. In some cases a qualification in Mathematics or Further Mathematics will reduce the grades required for entry to a degree course in a related subject. Further Mathematics A Level may be taken only in addition to Mathematics A Level. Core Pure Mathematics (50%) Proof, complex numbers, matrices, further algebra and functions, further calculus, further vectors, polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions, differential equations. Further Pure Mathematics 1 (25%) Further Trigonometry, Further Calculus (including Taylor Series, Leibniz's Theorem, L’Hospital’s Rule, The Weierstrass substitution for Integration), Further Differential Equations, Co-ordinate Systems (including Conics), Further Vectors, Further Numerical Methods and Inequalities. Mechanics (25%) Momentum and impulse, work, power and energy, elastic strings and springs, elastic collisions, circular motion, centres of mass, further dynamics and kinematics, simple harmonic motion.

Entry requirements

King's welcomes applications for admission to the 6th Form. We have a significant post-GCSE entry into our 6th Form and places are offered based on an interview and references from the candidate's current school. Candidates are expected to gain at least a 4/5 or 6 in each subject they hope to study at A Level and overall a minimum of 5 GCSEs with at least 4 GCSEs at Grade 4. Candidates applying to study BTECS will be offered places after interviews with the Deputy Head Academic and the Headmaster.
