Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics studied at GCSE is extended with students building on their Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry skills in addition to discovering calculus. Students will apply their mathematical skills when studying the areas of Statistics and Mechanics. Mathematical reasoning and problem solving will also be a prominent feature of the course. An A level in Mathematics will be examined through three written papers: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics, Pure Mathematics and Statistics and Pure Mathematics with a comprehension task. Pure Mathematics will make up two-thirds of the content taught.
