Mathematics

Course summary

All students study Pure and Applied Mathematics. At the heart of the Pure Mathematics course is calculus - the principles of which underpin all further study of Mathematics at A-level and beyond. Applied Mathematics is broken down into two components - Statistics and Mechanics. In Statistics you will learn howto work with large sets of real-world data and gain an indepth understanding of how statistical techniques are used in many aspects of our everyday life. In Mechanics you will study Newton’s Laws of Motion and how objects behave under the action of forces. The A-level is assessed by three terminal examinations. Students who perform exceptionally well in Year 12 may study an additional AS-level in Further Mathematics in Year 13.
