A Level Mathematics supports the study of a wide range of other A Level subjects. Physics, Chemistry and Biology rely on good algebraic and graphical skills, statistical techniques and the use of a range of functions including logarithms and trigonometry. In addition, Economics, Psychology, Business, Computing and Geography all benefit from students having fluent numerical, algebraic, graphical and statistical skills. Many students take A Level Mathematics in conjunction with non-related subjects in order to maintain a broad range of subject choices until they make decisions about their future study and career plans. A mathematical qualification is highly valued by employers and universities and is one of the most popular subjects for both boys and girls. The vast range of degree courses and careers that require solid mathematical skills ensures that taking Mathematics will open doors to a world of opportunities!
To be eligible for A Level Mathematics, students need to be predicted to achieve a grade 6 or above in GCSE Higher tier Mathematics. Those who achieve a high grade 5 may also be considered. Candidates predicted a grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics are able to opt for the course if they attend a bridging course which, if needed, will be taking place at the end of August after the GCSE results are available. Days and times to be confirmed by email/phone shortly after results day. External students will need to get in touch with the Head of Maths if they have achieved a grade 5.

Examinations to be taken at the end of Year 13, covering Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics. All three strands are compulsory.
