Mathematics A-Level, and Further Mathematics A-Level (Edexcel) Introduction The A-Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics courses provide unique opportunities for students to be inspired, challenged and to stand out academically. Students who have studied Mathematics beyond GCSE are widely thought of as having achieved something prestigious and are highly desirable to universities and employers. Year on year, our Maths and Further Maths students achieve results such that the most likely grade they achieve is an A grade. Many students have gone on to study Mathematics or subjects requiring a mathematical foundation at some of the best universities around the country. Over the past five years we have also had students taking up places at Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Bristol and Warwick. The Mathematics department at Queen Mary’s High school is an enthusiastic team which offers specialist teaching in all mathematical disciplines. We offer co-curricular support for students looking to take STEP, AEA and other papers that are essential to progress to many of the best universities. Feedback from our departmental questionnaire and analysis of results show that students enjoy their lessons, are successful and feel very supported. Course Overview • Geometry • Calculus • Algebra • Sequence • Numerical Methods • Proof • Mechanics • Matrices • Statistics Assessment Model A-Level Mathematics consists of three 2-hour papers • Paper 1 and Paper 2 are Pure Mathematics; • Paper 3 is Applied (Mechanics and Statistics) Mathematics. Career Opportunities For students who have studied Mathematics beyond GCSE, there are very clear advantages for career prospects. Mathematics is invaluable in any career which values problem solving skills or requires logical thought and reasoning. Many students also use the rigour and analytical thinking they develop in Mathematics at Queen Mary’s High School to move into degree courses and careers in Medicine, Law and Politics.
