Mathematics can be studied either as one or as two A level courses; A level Mathematics and A level Further Mathematics, which can both be studied at either AS or A2. Mathematics takes up eight periods a week and consists of Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Mathematics and Further Mathematics takes up fourteen periods each week. This counts as two option choices and 2 A levels are completed by the end of the 2 year course. A level Mathematics is completed in Year 12 with some of the AS Further Mathematics and A2 Further Mathematics completed in Year 13. Kent College is one of very few schools in the area to offer Mathematics and Further Mathematics as a fully timetabled option in the sixth form.
For A and AS level, those that have studied GCSE Mathematics should have done so on the higher level course and achieved a grade of 7 or above. Understanding and fluency with the algebra studied at GCSE is the best indicator of likely success at A level and therefore it is recommended that students considering A level Mathematics discuss the matter with their mathematics teacher. To follow Mathematics and Further Mathematics you must have a grade 8 or 9 at GCSE. Those students that have not taken a Mathematics qualification prior to the Sixth Form will be assessed as part of their application to Kent College and advised accordingly about their suitability. All Mathematics candidates will be reassessed in the early stage of Year 12 to double check their suitability for the course.
