A-Level Mathematics

You will work on solving problems and will complete regular mock exams for each topic. You will study in a variety of ways which include in class activities, worksheets, practise exam questions, tests, group work and independent study. You will be provided with topic booklets which you will be expected to complete both in and outside of class. The Awarding Body is Edexcel. You will study 3 A Level subjects, plus tutorial and career development sessions. Each subject has 6 hours per week contact time, with approximately 4 hours of independent study. Unfortunately, we cannot accept students who only want to study a single A Level subject due to funding limitations.

During the two years of study, you will be regularly assessed under test conditions to practise being able to understand and respond to the questions asked in the correct time allocation so that you are fully prepared for the final exams. There is an assessment calendar for A levels which includes timed assessment every 4 to 5 weeks. Feedback gained from these assessments will help you to develop your skills, target your revision and where necessary enable us to provide additional support.

You will require a scientific calculator. We also organise industry visits that are relevant to your subjects and, where possible, subject specific conferences.

Maths is an important subject for many careers and a requirement that sits alongside other subjects for study at a higher level for example engineering, computing, physics, sciences, medicine.
