This qualification enables students to develop their understanding of Mathematics and mathematical processes in such a way that fosters enjoyment and provides a strong foundation for progress to further study. Students gain an understanding of the coherence and progression in Mathematics and learn how different areas of the subject are connected. They are also encouraged to apply Mathematics in other fields of study and gain an awareness of the relevance of the subject to the world of work and to situations in society in general. In addition to complementing the study of Physics, Biology and Chemistry, mathematical skills can also be valuable in Economics, Psychology and Geography or alternatively can provide breadth to those studying other subjects. Being included on the Russell Group’s list of facilitating subjects, Mathematics is an excellent choice for a wide range of courses. Indeed, as well as being a prerequisite for those wishing to read Mathematics at university, A level Mathematics is considered either essential or is preferred by universities for students wishing to study courses including Computer Science, Physics, Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, Economics, Engineering, Architecture, Natural Sciences and Medicine.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
Students sit three examinations of 2 hours each. Two of the papers are on Pure Mathematics and one of the papers covers Mechanics and Statistics. Each paper is equally weighted.
