Mathematics

Assessment

A-level Mathematics follows the Edexcel syllabus. It is assessed by examination at the end of the course. We expect students to have at least a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics and at least a grade 4 in four other GCSE subjects, in order to be accepted for this course. Pupils are taught for 5 periods a week in year 12 and 5 in year 13 and are expected to undertake considerable independent study outside of lessons. For an AS Level in Mathematics, this is normally studied in year 12.
