KS5 Curriculum for A-Level Mathematics

In our sixth form our students use and appreciate the application of mathematics in solving a wide variety of real-life problems; we would like our students to have a strong foundation in basic concepts and be able to reason mathematically. Our aim is to show students how Mathematics is used in the real world through modelling and problem solving. Furthermore, we solve quite complicated problems by using mathematical arguments and logic. Our students will also have to understand and demonstrate what is meant by proof in mathematics. Last but not least, we teach our students to use calculator technology and other resources effectively and appropriately; understand limitations and when it is inappropriate to use such technology.

Units we offer: Pure Maths 1, Pure Maths 2, Applied Maths 1, Applied Maths 2- these are all compulsory for a full A level qualification. 

KS5 Curriculum for A-Level Further Mathematics

In our sixth form our students study A level further maths to prepare for a degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics and other similar courses. Many university maths departments encourage students to take Further Mathematics at A level as it introduces a wider range of pure and applied content, such as matrices and complex numbers. Students who have studied Further Mathematics often find the transition to university far more straightforward.
