What the college says

This course is designed to help students fulfil their potential by taking and enjoying mathematics courses that are relevant to their needs post-16. This involves four key elements: breadth, depth, being up-to-date and providing students with the ability to use their mathematics in the real world. The course is designed to provide students with the necessary interpretive and modelling skills to be able to use their mathematics and to relate what they have learnt to the world around them. Modelling and interpretation are key elements that are stressed in all areas of the course. Mathematics has been transformed at this level by the impact of modern technology: the graphical calculator, the spreadsheet and dedicated mathematics software. There are many places where this course strongly encourages the use of such technology and this makes the work more enjoyable and relevant.
