Mathematics

Entry Requirements

A minimum GCSE Grade 6 in Mathematics. It is also advised that students have worked through the transition materials during the summer holiday prior to them starting the course in Year 12. These can be sent to individuals upon request. In both years (AS and A2) you will build upon previous knowledge and be introduced to entirely new concepts and ideas. You will explore how to tackle a wide variety of problems by applying these ‘mathematical tools’ appropriately. You will learn to spot common themes to some areas whilst developing novel approaches to others. Some of the topics you will study during your two years of A level Mathematics are Algebraic methods, Quadratics, graphs and the transformation of graphs, Trigonometry and Radians, Vectors, Sequences and Series and Calculus that involves differentiation and integration.
