A qualification in Mathematics holds great prestige and is sought after by many employers, as it develops skills in logic, communication and problem solving. The new A-levels are examined after 2 years over 3 two hour papers which cover Pure/Core Maths and Applied Mathematics (Mechanics/Statistics) in a 2:1 ratio. We use the Oxford A-level Mathematics textbook to cover the content as well as the MEI integral resources, both of which are specific to the Edexcel specification. Students will be assessed throughout the first year in order to provide directed support and will receive formal assessments at regular intervals for reporting. Useful information: • To see the full specification go to https://tinyurl.com/l9qh9gt • Students require the Casio Classwiz calculator which they can purchase through school • Students are expected to complete a high volume of private study to support their class work. We expect students to attend additional support sessions during the year
A-level subjects will require a high Grade 5/Grade B results as a minimum if studied at GCSE Grade 5 in English and Grade 6 in Mathematics.
Year 1: This course is 100% exam based and will consist of 2 written internal exam papers at the end of Year 12. Paper 1: Pure Mathematics, 2 hours, 100 marks Paper 2: Statistics 1 hour 15 minutes Year 2: This course is 100% exam based and will consist of 3 written exam papers. A-level Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1: 2 hours / 100 marks = 1/3 of the A-level qualification. A-level Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2: 2 hours / 100 marks = 1/3 of the A-level qualification. A-level Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics: 2 hours / 100 marks = 1/3 of the A-level qualification
