Mathematics
Our Mathematics Department develops students, to be enthusiastic, independent, inquisitive, and resilient in their learning.
Year 12 and 13 students
This level of study is ideal for students who enjoy and have a natural flair for the subject – and are especially unafraid of hard work. A Level mathematics helps students to excel in a variety of careers, including those in engineering, finance, and accounting.
There are four core modules and two applied modules: statistics and mechanics. These modules will build upon the topics that students have learned at GCSE level: simultaneous equations and coordinate geometry. Students also explore new topics including exponentials, logarithms, and calculus.
Core mathematics is designed for students who do not wish to study A Level but who do wish to develop their mathematical, statistical, and quantitative skills. It supports courses including A Level psychology, sciences, and geography as well as technical and vocational qualifications such as Engineering.
Group work and discussion are encouraged throughout the teaching of this subject alongside the application of mathematical skills and known techniques to new problem areas, including examples from economics, sociology, psychology, chemistry, geography, computing, and business and management.
