Please note that Further Mathematics is only available to study in Year 13 Why study this subject? If you have a particular talent and enjoy mathematics then you should consider studying Further Mathematics. You will extend the knowledge you already have gained through studying the A level course and encounter new areas of mathematics. The mathematics covered will be helpful not just to students intending to study mathematics at degree level but to any potential physicists, engineers or computer scientists. For Route 2 mathematicians it is possible to study either AS or A Level Further Math's in Y13. A Level Course content For A level you will study Core Pure Mathematics 1 and 2, together with the options Further Mechanics 1 and Further Pure Mathematics 1. Core Pure Mathematics topics include proof, algebra, matrices, more advanced work on vectors together with polar coordinates, hyperbolic functions and more advanced methods of differentiation and integration. Further Mechanics 1 includes the AS topics plus impulse-momentum and elastic energy. Further Pure Mathematics 1 includes the AS topics plus further calculus and differential equations.
The minimum qualification for entry into the Sixth Form at the School is 8 full course GCSE passes. The 8 passes must include English, Mathematics and a science at GCSE. Four of the passes must be at grade 7 or above and another four must be at grade 6 or above. For iGCSEs graded A* to G, grade A is equivalent to a 7 and A* is equivalent to an 8 or 9. For Mathematics Route 2: a GCSE grade 8 or 9 in Mathematics, a grade 8 or 9 in Physics GCSE and four grade 8 or 9 GCSEs overall.
Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 – one paper of 1 hour 30 minutes (weighting of 25%) Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 – one paper of 1 hour 30 minutes (weighting of 25%) Paper 3: Further Mechanics 1 – one paper of 1 hour 30 minutes (weighting of 25 %) Paper 4: Further Pure Mathematics 1 – one paper of 1 hour 30 minutes (weighting of 25 %)
