What the college says

A qualification in Mathematics holds great prestige and is sought after by many employers, as it develops skills in logic, communication and problem solving. The new A-levels are examined after 2 years over 3 two hour papers which cover Pure/Core Maths and Applied Mathematics (Mechanics/Statistics) in a 2:1 ratio. We use the Oxford A-level Mathematics textbook to cover the content as well as the MEI integral resources, both of which are specific to the Edexcel specification. Students will be assessed throughout the first year in order to provide directed support and will receive formal assessments at regular intervals for reporting. Useful information: To see the full specification go to https://tinyurl.com/ l9qh9gt Students require the Casio Classwiz calculator which they can purchase through school Students are expected to complete a high volume of private study to support their class work. We expect students to attend additional support sessions during the year Students have access to Kerboodle online textbooks, MyMaths and other online resources Google classroom is used extensively to support flipped learning in advance of lessons At the beginning of the second year, all students will be entered for the TMUA examination. This will help in applications to Russell Group universities in the absence of an AS grade. Further information can be found on https://tinyurl.com/y5njytem
