What the college says

Students who are especially keen on Mathematics will really enjoy the A Level in Further Mathematics. It is a challenging qualification which extends and deepens students' knowledge and understanding beyond the standard A Level Mathematics course. It is most suitable for students who are highly motivated, have a genuine interest in the subject and who wish to read Mathematics or mathematically orientated degree subjects, such as Physics, at university. In addition to the A Level modules, you will usually take 4 extra Pure modules and two extra modules in Mechanics, Statistics, Decision or a mixture. When opting for Further Maths it is preferable to choose Statistics as an A Level Mathematics option as Mechanics is automatically covered in Further Maths. You will have two teachers; usually one will teach the Pure modules and one will teach the Mechanics, Statistics or Decision. Classes are usually very small and the combination of modules can therefore be flexible. Each fortnight, 5 hours teaching time is allocated to the Pure modules and 4 hours are allocated to the Mechanics, Statistics or Decision components at AS level. At A2, you are again taught as a separate group with 5 hours allocated to the Pure component and 4 hours to the chosen option.
