Mathematics

Course summary

Maths remains an extremely important subject and one which is highly regarded by potential universities and employers. At GCSE, Mathematics involves the study of geometry, algebra, number, shape and space, and data handling. These five strands of study provide skills which can be used in other school subjects and gives a deeper understanding of how the world we live in works. A Further Mathematics course is offered to pupils who are on the accelerated GCSE course. This course serves as a good introduction to A Level mathematics but is by no means a prerequisite.
