Pure 1 extends concepts learnt at GCSE such as working with algebraic expressions, solving equations and inequalities, and straight line coordinate geometry. These concepts are built on in topics such as circle coordinate geometry, binomial expansion, integration and differentiation. Students will also undertake Applied 1, covering content in both statistics and mechanics. In statistics, students will be working with large data sets and asked to understand, represent and analyse the data. Topics such as linear regression, probability and hypothesis testing will be covered, as well as familiar GCSE topics such as interpreting box plots and histograms. In mechanics, students will be introduced to both constant and variable acceleration, alongside an introduction to forces and Newton's laws. This provides a foundation for students continuing onto the second year, building on the concepts learnt in Year 12 to further their understanding. Pure 2 includes the introduction of new differentiation and integration techniques whilst also developing students algebraic work. The statistical content includes the normal distribution, conditional probability and more hypothesis testing. The mechanics content will extend the idea of forces and explore their application, along with studying projectiles, moments and friction.
• All Loughborough College Sixth Form courses have minimum entry requirements of at least five GCSEs at grade C/4 or above, including English Language and Maths. • GCSE Maths at grade 7.
A-Level: Three x 2 hour exams - Pure 1, Pure 2 and an applied paper.
