Course summary

There’s something special about A Level Mathematics. Not only does it develop problem solving skills and logical thought, but it also provides a challenge. Is it any wonder that employers are attracted to students who have studied this subject? Studies show that people who take A Level mathematics earn an average of 11% more over their lifetime than those who don’t. It is undoubtably a highly regarded subject, but did you know that it is a facilitating subject (helpful in keeping your options open) which is looked upon favourably by Colleges and Universities? Here at McAuley we have an experienced Mathematics Department with a history of excellent results that go from strength to strength. In 2021-22, 69% of our A Level Mathematics students achieved grade C or above, and a whopping 38% achieved an A* or A grade. 100% of our students achieved grade C or above in Further Mathematics, of which 75% achieved grade A* or A and every student who sat Level 3 Core Mathematics passed. The question is not why choose Mathematics, the question is why wouldn’t you?
