Both A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics are offered in the Sixth Form. Mathematics in the Sixth Form consists of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics. The combination and amount of each of the three subjects depends on the course being followed. Pure Mathematics This is considered the core course. It involves a further study of algebra, trigonometry and vectors started in the lower school. Other topics such as the mathematical modelling of real situations are introduced. The techniques and methods learned in this part of the course are needed for the solution of Mechanics and Statistical problems. Mechanics Mechanics analyses simplified models of the physical world, particularly those associates with movement. The forces causing and affecting motion are considered and predictions about subsequent actions can be made. Statistics Statistics studies methods of collecting, displaying and analysing data about the physical world. Skills acquired at GCSE are extended to deal with more complex problems. Further Mathematics Further Mathematics is studied with Mathematics as a two-year course and involves studying Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics to a higher level, dealing with more demanding situations. Methods are studied more rigorously and a greater number of techniques are taught.
• GCSE Maths: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • GCSE English or English Language: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • A Level subjects: You must achieve a grade 7, 8, or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. For some subjects, a minimum of grade 8 or 9 is required (see below) GCSE Higher Level Mathematics should have been studied and a Grade 8 or 9 obtained.
