A Level in Further Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics is a very popular choice in the Sixth Form. The majority of internal students continue with maths at A Level and are joined by a significant number of external students who apply to Latymer specifically for the maths courses on offer post-16. Consequently, there are multiple groups studying either single maths (A Level Mathematics) or double maths (A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics). Students opting for single maths will have the equivalent of 4 hours 40 minutes of maths lessons per week, and those opting for double maths will have 9 hours 20 minutes per week.
