Mathematics

Course summary

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.
