Students taking Further Mathematics A level follow our 'Double Maths' course.

This means that:

• in Y12 they study all of the content for the Maths A level
• in Y13 they study the content for the Further Maths A level
• at the end of Y13 they take all of the exams for both Maths A level and Further Maths A level
• they therefore have twice as many lessons as any other A level class (8 a week in Year 12) and twice as much maths work to do out of lessons
• Double Maths counts as two subjects in our option blocks

Double Maths is therefore a demanding route to follow, requiring both a high level of mathematical ability and the willingness to work hard and at a fast pace both in and out of lessons. It is, however, a very valuable pair of qualifications to pursue, and anyone considering applying to study Maths, Physics, Engineering, or Economics at a competitive university should strongly consider this option.

We have a very experienced and able team of teachers on the Double Maths course, and they can provide additional support for Oxbridge entrance tests in Maths and related subjects as well as teaching the A level courses to a very high standard.

What is covered in Further Mathematics?

- Pure Mathematics content, making up at least 50% of the A level.

- The remainder of the content is made up of options which include:

• Additional Pure Mathematics
• Additional Statistics and/or Mechanics

You can learn more about the options we will be teaching at the Langton at the Sixth form Open Evening.

Grade 9 in GCSE Mathematics is required.

Please note that applicants must also meet our overall entry requirements of scoring at least a total of 50 points (simply add up all your GCSE grades) and achieving a Grade 4 or higher in both English Language and Mathematics.
