What the college says

Core maths (AQA) is a level 3 qualification that can be taken alongside A-levels or vocational qualifications and is equivalent in size to an AS level. It is designed to provide students with mathematical, statistics and data skills that they will need for most post-16 subjects and for future employment, extending on their GCSE knowledge. Core Maths develops the quantitative and problem-solving skills so highly valued by employers. The primary focus is on using and applying mathematics and statistics to address authentic problems and real-life scenarios, drawn from study, work and life, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving.
