A-Level Mathematics is a continuation of GCSE Mathematics and aims to further develop existing knowledge and introduce key new concepts. The course is made up of 2/3 Pure Mathematics with 1/6 Mechanics and 1/6 Statistics. The A-Level has an increased emphasis on modelling, problem solving and the use of ICT. The modules that a student will study are: Pure Maths - Proof Algebra and Functions - Coordinate Geometry in the (x,y) plane - Sequences and Series - Trigonometry - Exponentials and Logarithms - Differentiation - Integration - Numerical Methods Mechanics - Vectors - Quantities and Units in Mechanics - Kinematics - Forces and Newton’s Laws - Moments Statistics - Statistical Sampling - Data Presentation and Interpretation - Probability - Statistical Distributions - Statistical Hypothesis Testing
For an A-Level pathway a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above (or Level 2 merit), including English and Mathematics is required. Minimum Subject Specific Entry Requirements: GCSE Mathematics at Grade 6 or above. All applicants must pass an algebra entrance exam which will be completed before the end of the Year 11 academic year.
There are three examined modules all of equal weighting: Paper 1 Pure Mathematics 2 hours 33.3% Paper 2 Combination of Pure Mathematics and Mechanics 2 hours 33.3% Paper 3 Combination of Pure Mathematics and Statistics 2 hours 33.3%
