Maths & Further Maths

A Level Maths provides students with a thorough grounding in key mathematical principles and the tools to access a wide variety of courses in the mathematical sciences.

Our exam board is OCR A. 

A Level Maths has 3 key components; Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics. Pure Maths focusses on the building blocks such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. Mechanics and Statistics enable students to apply their core skills to a broad range of contexts from probability distributions or projectile pathways, showcasing the mathematics underpinning so much of the modelling in mathematical sciences.

A Level Further Maths enables students to deepen and extend their understanding by introducing them to new areas of mathematics such as complex numbers and matrices. Students will develop the problem-solving skills, mathematical fundamentals and study habits that will serve them well in higher education. Further Mathematics comprises Pure Mathematics (which makes up 50% of the final A Level), plus all students will take the Further Mechanics and Discrete Maths options.
