The current course design aims to challenge all students of further mathematics with an experience which we know will prepare them for the next step into degree level education. Our curriculum is deliberately broad in content and challenges and stretches pupils’ subject knowledge and skills. We study a variety of topics with a focus on Core Pure Mathematics and Further Pure Mathematics. Students should gain an excellent understanding of a wide range of mathematical, critical thinking and problem solving skills extending them further in their mathematical understanding. Extra-Curricular Opportunities: Students will have opportunities with the UK Senior Maths Challenge, Russell Group visits to universities, taster days with University STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) departments and with our own gifted and more able maths club. We also have strong links with Brunel University’s Department of Mathematics Additional Support: We rigorously track pupil progress using the Mathematics Faculty data sheets and pupils receive regular exam practice throughout the year as well as additional projects and reading to improve their knowledge and understanding of the course. Progression Routes: Further Mathematics is a versatile qualification, well-respected by employers. Careers for men and women with good mathematics skills and qualifications are usually well paid, but they are also often interesting and rewarding. Whilst the number of young people studying Further Mathematics is increasing there is still a huge demand from science, engineering and manufacturing employers. A Level Further Mathematics students become better at thinking logically and analytically. Through solving problems you develop resilience and are able to think creatively and strategically. The writing of structured solutions, proof and justification of results help you to formulate reasoned arguments. Importantly you will have excellent numeracy skills and the ability to process and interpret data. Curriculum Leader: MR M SANGHA: msangha@barnhill.school
