Mathematics is a vital part of all areas of modern life and the A-level course provides a sound background for any boy wishing to pursue Mathematics or a Mathematics-based degree. For Further Mathematics, boys take another four or five examinations, two compulsory units and two or three optional ones. The exact options that will be offered will depend on the division. Both courses are fully linear, and all examinations are taken at the end of the Upper Sixth year. Candidates who are at present in the top Mathematics division in the Fifth Form should consider themselves strong candidates, with a good possibility of pursuing a Further Mathematics course. Boys in the second division who have done well in the Additional Mathematics studied in the Fifth Form can also consider studying Further Mathematics. The Further Mathematics course is ideal (in some cases crucial) for anyone considering a degree in science, Engineering, Computing or Economics. If a boy who opts for Further Mathematics is eventually not able to complete the full double A-level, there is an option to return to single Mathematics at any point over the two-year course. New boys entering the Sixth Form who wish to study Further Mathematics should contact the Head of Subject and ensure that they have studied extended mathematical content before entry to the Sixth Form at Harrow. They will then be placed in appropriate divisions.
We welcome applications from boys who: are likely to be predicted at least seven or eight passes at GCSE (or equivalent) at grade 7/8/9 (A/A*); IGCSE requirement for A-level Further Mathematics: grade 9 in Mathematics (boys must also have an additional qualification either in Additional Mathematics or Level 2 Further Mathematics)
