Course summary

The IB Mathematics curriculum has been updated this year, to adapt to the evolving mathematics requirements in academia, industry and society. We will be offering three options for IB Mathematics study: • HL analysis & approaches - A challenging and exciting syllabus designed for able mathematicians who are looking for intellectual challenge and those who wish to pursue degree courses such as Mathematics, Engineering, Physics and Economics at Russell Group universities. • SL analysis & approaches - A course designed for confident mathematicians who may well be considering degree courses with a significant mathematical content, such as Management Science, Architecture, Psychology and some Economics courses. Has extensive use of Graphical Display Calculators (GDCs). • SL applications & interpretations - With an emphasis on statistics and logical understanding, this course is suitable for those wishing to study humanities, arts and social sciences at degree level.

Entry requirements

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.
