Continuing to study mathematics in the sixth form is an excellent foundation for university and employment applications. It remains a particularly impressive qualification that demonstrates core intelligence, a logical mind and excellent problem-solving skills. The AQA mathematics course offered at St. Peter’s Sixth Form will deepen your understanding of quadratics, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, equations, vectors and more, as well as introduce several completely new areas of study including mechanics and statistics. The school offers a variety of support mechanisms catering to the needs of different students, all of which allow students to develop their knowledge of mathematical principles to analyse problems logically and effectively. The further study of mathematics has strong links with many other subjects including science, engineering, design, computer science, medicine and many more. In many cases it is a prerequisite for further study in many of these areas, as the skills that are developed provide a secure base for further study of many other subjects at the university level.
Five grades 9 - 4 including grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics. - To qualify for the Sixth Form we require all students to have at least 5 grades 4 or equivalent in a range of subjects.
The school follows the AQA A-level mathematics specification. The AS level exam in the summer consists of two 90-minute papers in pure maths and mechanics followed by pure maths and statistics. There is no coursework element. The AS content covers 40% of a full A level. The A-level exam entry in the summer consists of three 120-minute papers in pure maths, pure maths and mechanics and finally pure maths and statistics. There is, again, no coursework element.
