The aim of the course is to build on the aims of the A Level Maths course and develop additional skills and a deeper understanding of the subject to support those who will need to use mathematics in their university course, especially students wishing to study mathematics, physics, economics, computing or engineering to degree level. Careers for men and women with good mathematics skills and qualifications are not only well paid, but they are also often interesting and rewarding. Maths supports careers in medicine, management and accountancy as well as teaching and research.
At Sixth Form, entry to Abbotsholme is normally dependent on GCSE results (or equivalent passes) of at least five C grades/level 4 or above.
Assessment is via four 1½ hour papers at the end of Year 13, each weighted 25%: Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 Paper 3: Further Mathematics Option 1 Students take one of the following: A: Further Pure Mathematics 1 B: Further Statistics 1 C: Further Mechanics 1 D: Decision Mathematics 1 Paper 4: Further Mathematics Option 2 Students take one of the following: A: Further Pure Mathematics 2 B: Further Statistics 1 C: Further Mechanics 1 D: Decision Mathematics 1 E: Further Statistics 2 F: Further Mechanics 2 G: Decision Mathematics 2
