Course summary

The aim is to study all topics at Key Stage 4, to prepare the pupils for sixth form work, to develop their ability to express the same concept in various mathematical languages (algebraic, geometric) and to develop cognitive skills.  The objective is to make pupils familiar and confident with algebraic manipulation (including rational functions) and to introduce them to basic differentiation. Previous work on geometry and trigonometry is revised and extended via vectors and scalene triangles. Revision of the IGCSE course takes place during the second term for all sets once the syllabus has been completed.

Entry requirements

To join our Sixth Form we ask for nine GCSEs including Mathematics and English, with a minimum Grade 7 in the subjects that you wish to study, or in a related subject where the proposed course is in a new subject.

How you'll be assessed

The first round assessment is a 90-minute, bespoke computer based test. The exam includes verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English and maths questions. The assessment will take place on the school premises. Pupils who are successful in round one are called back for interview. Applicants are not required to bring books, projects or other work with them to interview. We ask one or both of an applicant’s parents or guardians to attend at this time.
