Course Summary

When studying mathematics at A Level you will be extending your knowledge of such topics as algebra and trigonometry as well as learning some brand new ideas such as calculus. This is a compulsory element to the course and is fundamental to all other areas of Maths.

Course Details

Further Maths

This is an option available to those boys in the top set who have studied the Free Standing Qualification in Additional Maths or students from set two who are passionate about mathematics. This will result in two A Levels from one option, but there are lessons in addition to the standard nine every two weeks. There are a range of options in addition to the core mathematics. This is a particularly valuable course for those students who wish to study Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or Computer Science at one of the top universities but is not for everyone. As the pace of work is fast and there is less teaching time available per module it is suitable only for those who pick up new ideas quickly and are prepared to put in sustained independent study.

The courses involve a study of Core/Pure Mathematics for two thirds of the time together with Mechanics, Statistics or Decision Maths for the other third. It is entirely assessed by examination at the end of the course.

Entry requirements

To study A Level Mathematics, you should have at least a grade 7 at GCSE. A capacity for sustained work is also needed for good success. We follow a linear specification which is assessed solely through exams at the end of the course. All A-level Mathematics courses now have the same content: two-thirds pure maths, one-sixth statistics and one-sixth mechanics.

Your next steps...

A Level Mathematics is a much sought after qualification for entry to a wide variety of full-time courses in Higher Education. Mathematics is very valuable as a supporting subject to many courses at A Level and Degree Level, especially in the sciences, computing, engineering, economics, geography, psychology, sociology and medicine. Studying mathematics develops your ability to analyse complex problems to find accurate and creative solutions. This is highly valued by employers
