Mathematics is a medium for learning to think algorithmically, systematically and independently. Pupils will learn to draw on a range of techniques to solve multi-stage problems in a variety of contexts, and to apply higher order thinking across a range of contexts and disciplines. More importantly, pupils will get a glimpse of the underlying structure and observable patterns in the world around us. Mathematics is an important and highly regarded subject in its own right, but it is fundamental to many other undergraduate disciplines, notably Physics, Engineering and Economics. Other popular courses with a significant mathematical element include Geography, Biology, Medicine, Management and Psychology.
Entry to the Sixth Form is based upon interview (via video or telephone call, if international), a satisfactory performance in the entrance examination, completion of a 500-word handwritten personal statement and submission of satisfactory school reports and school reference. We would also expect good performance at GCSE (or equivalent). Applicants would normally be required to have obtained a minimum of 5 Grade 6 passes at GCSE (or equivalent). Applicants for the Cambridge Technical course would be expected to achieve Grade 4 passes at GCSE including Maths and English Language, together with 3 other Grade 4s at GCSE. Some international pupils may be required to sit the Oxford Placement test. UK boarders will also be required to complete an overnight trial board if becoming a boarder.
