Mathematics is the tool of the engineer, physicist, chemist and economist; this makes both Mathematics and Further Mathematics versatile qualifications, well-respected by employers and both facilitating subjects for entry to Higher Education. Pupils of mathematics become better at thinking logically and analytically. Through problem-solving, you develop resilience and can think creatively and strategically. The writing of structured solutions, proof and justification of results helps you to formulate reasoned arguments. The mathematical skills you learn in A-level Mathematics are of great benefit in other A-level subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Geography, Psychology, Economics and Business. Furthermore, studying A-level Further Mathematics is likely to improve your grade in A-level Mathematics. The course delivery can be described as a three-stage process that is being constantly repeated. Firstly, you are exposed to a new topic. In the second stage, you practise the newly acquired skills either independently or with the help of your peers and your teacher; this is also the time when ‘knowing’ gradually turns into ‘understanding’. In the final stage, you try to apply what you have learnt to solving real-life problems. You are also allowed to explore further connections between different areas of Mathematics, often resulting in greater insight into the subject. To succeed in this A-level, for every hour spent in the classroom, you are expected to spend the same amount of time practising and consolidating your work at home. Your progress in the course is regularly assessed using end-of-chapter progress tests.
Sixth Form candidates are encouraged to apply in the Autumn Term of the year preceding entry and are generally required to have a minimum of two 7 and three 6 grades at GCSE, and a minimum of grade 5 in Mathematics and English, with some subject-specific requirements, as listed in our Sixth Form Curriculum Guide. In addition to the ‘traditional’ A Level offer, in September 2023, the School introduced BTEC in Sport. This pathway was open to elite performers who are linked with our Saracens Partnership. 7 in GCSE Mathematics is required for A-level Mathematics.
The A-level Mathematics course consists of Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in a ratio of 2:1. The Pure Mathematics content covers topics such as algebra, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and calculus and the Applied Mathematics syllabus covers both Statistics and Mechanics over the two years of the course. At the end of the course, you sit three exams of a similar weighting.
