A level Maths extends and challenges your compulsory Maths education. The course provides a broad and widely applicable base of mathematical knowledge, including rigorous treatment of calculus and proof alongside statistics and mechanics, preparing learners for a wide range of destinations in Higher Education and employment. A-Level Maths builds from GCSE Level maths and introduces calculus and its applications. It emphasises how mathematical ideas are interconnected to help make sense of data, to understand the physical world and to solve problems in a variety of contexts, including social sciences and business. To complement the Pure more algebraic content of the course, there is now a compulsory element of Mechanics for everyone to study and apply their skills incorporating kinematics, Newton’s laws and applications of vectors. The Statistics element is now more focussed on interpretation and includes some hypothesis testing which provides you with a clearer idea of how to apply Mathematics to real life, not just in a classroom.
5 x grade 5 or above (including GCSE English Language) Grade 6 GCSE Maths
A level: Assessment is entirely based upon 3 x 2 hour written external examinations: • Paper 1: Pure Mathematics (33.3%) • Paper 2: Pure Mathematics and Statistics (33.3%) • Paper 3: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics (33.3%)
