Over 5,000 years ago Mathematics evolved from basic numeracy into a new language to precisely describe the universe around us and as a tool for man-kind to make its mark on the planet. From the Great Pyramids of Giza to the Apollo Space Program, Mathematics has been at the heart of humanities most impressive achievements. In our modern society it plays an essential role in Economics, Engineering, Science & Technology. In the past 500 years, Mathematics has extended past the confines of physical reality and now represents an exciting frontier for the realms of human thought. Mathematics at A-Level is both challenging and interesting as it builds on the topics you have met at GCSE and develops the ideas further. It is a highly sought after qualification in the workplace and in Higher Education. Higher Education courses or careers that list A-Level Mathematics as essential or highly desirable include: • Computing • Economics • Architecture • Accountancy • Psychology • Biology • Finance • Medicine • Engineering • Actuary • Chemistry • Physics • Pure Mathematics
To enter any Level 3 course you will need 5 Grade 4 – 9s (A* - C) GCSE Math's Grade 6.
Changes in A-level assessment have meant that all courses are now linear meaning that students will sit all examinations at the end of the A2 course. To prepare students for this we have a rigorous scheme of assessment which allows us to provide effective and individual support for every student. Assessment takes the following forms; • Assessed homework at the end of each content section • In-class testing on all covered content at the end of each half term • A mock exam during 6th Form Mock Exam Week (see school calendar) • End of year examinations (see details below) For the end of first year examination, students will be expected to pass Paper 1 & Paper 2 detailed as follows; Paper 1 Content: Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, P, Q, R. Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Weighting: 50% of first year grade Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multistep problems. Paper 2 Content: Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, M, N, O. Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Weighting: 50% of first year grade Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multistep problems. For the A-level Mathematics qualification in June 2024 students will sit Paper 1, Paper 2 & Paper 3 detailed as follows; Paper 1 Content: Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I. Duration: 2 hours Weighting: 33⅓ % of A Level Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems. Paper 2 Content: Any content from Paper 1 and from sections J, P, Q, R, S.
