What the college says

While A Level Mathematics is a rich and deep course in its own right, some students will find Further Mathematics a more suitable challenge for their level and their interests. Further Mathematics is the gold standard of high school maths. The extension of your knowledge and understanding through the course will support your studies in A Level Mathematics, consolidating your work and helping you to achieve the best possible grades. The overlapping skills developed in Mathematics and Further Mathematics mean that it is easier to carry it on as a fourth full A Level subject than many others. It is taught in a smaller group, allowing for personalised support and detailed feedback.

What you need to get on

In order to cope with the demands of the course, students should have preferably have gained at least grade 8 in Mathematics at GCSE, although, in exceptional circumstances, students with grade 7 will be considered. Prior study of Further Mathematics GCSE would be beneficial, though not essential, and the achievement of grade A or above in that course would also be preferred, though students with grade B may be accepted. An outcome on this course will be taken into consideration when advising students about entry. Further Mathematics can only be selected if you are also choosing Mathematics.

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
