The A Level mathematics course is designed to develop students' mathematical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and mathematical communication skills. It emphasises how mathematical ideas are inter-connected and teaches students to apply these ideas to model practical situations. The course places a strong emphasis on logical reasoning and problem solving. A significant portion of the A Level mathematics course is devoted to pure mathematics, which covers fundamental topics such as algebra, calculus, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry. All students also study statistics and mechanics. Statistics develops the skills required to interpret real data presented in summary or graphical form and helps us draw conclusions about what the data shows. Mechanics allows us to describe and make predictions about how physical objects move and interact with each other involving ideas such as velocity, acceleration, force and mass which are central to understanding how the world works. A Level Mathematics is considered a challenging and rigorous program of study, and successful completion of the course is highly regarded by universities and employers alike. It prepares students for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of mathematics such as sciences, social sciences, engineering and IT careers as well as business and finance.
Candidates must have both Maths and English Language or English Literature GCSE at Grade 5 or above, and also fulfil the entry criteria for their chosen subject courses: GCSE Mathematics Grade 7 or above. All student sit an A level bridging assessment prior to enrolment in order for us to advise them on their suitability for the course.
Three two-hour written examinations at the end of Year 13, marked out of 100. Paper one: Pure Mathematics 1 Paper two: Pure Mathematics 2 Paper three: Statistics and Mechanics
