• To strengthen and extend existing knowledge and understanding of Mathematics from GCSE, as well as introduce and explore a variety of new concepts. • To explore the various applications of Mathematics and to be able to apply existing and new skills to modelled situations. • To encourage students to be able to interpret a problem and be able to analyse these mathematically, constructing a mathematical argument. Pupils wishing to study maths at A Level should have a real love for the subject along with a strong work ethic. A potential student should be a strong mathematician that is capable of interpreting a problem and choosing an appropriate method to be able to work through to a solution. A potential student should also be able to formally structure a mathematical argument using equations and correct mathematical notation consistently and accurately. The A Level course is broken down into three key areas- Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics.
The minimum entry requirements for Level 3 academic study apply. In addition, a Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics is required, however Grade 7+ is highly recommended.
You will be assessed internally throughout the course to check that you are on track. The course is formally assessed through three examination papers that will be sat at the end of Year 13. These examination papers will look at the three strands mentioned above however “Pure Mathematics” will count for 66.7% of your final grade with “Mechanics” and “Statistics” being equally weighted to make the remaining 33.3%.
