This is a combination of Mathematics (see previous page) and Further Mathematics A Level. Mathematics is studied during Year 12 and Further Mathematics during year 13. Further Mathematics is designed to stretch and challenge the skills and knowledge of the more able mathematicians, to encourage them to think, act and communicate mathematically, and to prepare them for university courses in mathematics and related quantitative and scientific subjects. Nationally, a number of students are capable of studying Further Mathematics. However, only a select few actually have the facilities to do so – which means that those who study it are in very high demand by universities. This is an ideal avenue for high flying maths students who love the subject, wish to pursue a mathematically based path after Sixth Form and be among the very first applicants considered for mathematical courses
A minimum of five full GCSEs or equivalent at grades 9–5, including English (Language or Literature), with a minimum grade 8 in Mathematics and two other passes at grade 6 or above. Mathematics and Further Mathematics can only be studied if you are taking two other A Level subjects
Assessment for A Level is by four 1.5 hour written papers as follows Pure Core 1 Pure Core 2 Two from Decision,Mechanics or Statistics We are currently assessing which options will be offered. Final details will be available at 16+ information evening. If you opt to sit Mathematics and Further Mathematics you will take all your Mathematics A Level papers in the June sessions at the end of Year 12 and all Further Mathematics papers at the end of Year 13.
