Mathematics

Entry Requirements

A good grade at (I)GCSE (at the least a good grade 7) in mathematics is a requirement for this course. An interest in acquiring new techniques to tackle problem solving is also a distinct advantage. Those pupils who have studied GCSE mathematics courses only to Foundation level will find the transition to A level extremely hard and their best interests will not be served by embarking on this course. Likewise, pupils with a grade 6 or below at Higher tier will find the subject too taxing to achieve a good result at the end of the course (or even at AS); those who struggle with aspects of GCSE Maths are not advised to continue to A level.
