What the college says

If you would like a real mathematical challenge that will extend your thinking beyond A level Mathematics, or if you are considering studying Mathematics, Engineering or Computer Science at university. In Further Mathematics, the rate and difficulty of the work means everyone can expect to be challenged. Consequently, only those with a confident grasp of mathematics and the highest grades could be expected to be successful. We recommend that you are predicted a Grade 8 or 9 at GCSE. Students studying Further Mathematics will also study and gain an A-Level in Mathematics. The structure of the course at Didcot Sixth Form means that any student studying Further Mathematics will complete the A-Level Mathematics course in Year 11 and sit the examination at the end of Year 12. They will then study the Further Mathematics course in Year 13.
