All students follow programmes of study which cover pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics. Pure Mathematics revisits, in greater depth, some of the topics studied at GCSE such as algebra, trigonometry, functions and graphs, but also introduces new topics such as calculus and coordinate geometry. Statistics builds upon the work at GCSE and includes topics such as correlation, regression, and probability distributions. Some of these topics tend to be useful for the Sciences, Geography, Psychology and Business. Mechanics involves the study of forces and their actions on particles, the motion of particles, and Newton’s laws of motion. This topic is particularly useful for Physics and Engineering. The A level programmes of study will be examined at the end of Year 13 and will make up the A level award in Mathematics. Some students may choose to study mathematics in Year 12 only and sit AS papers at the end of the year.
New students are welcomed into the coeducational Sixth Form, for which the minimum requirement for automatic entry is five GCSE subjects at grade 5. Students must also have achieved grade 5 in English Language and Mathematics.
