What the college says

There are two 'A' Level courses, each consisting of a mixture of Pure and Applied Mathematics (Mechanics and Statistics). Both can be studied with Science or Arts subjects. A) Single Mathematics: This is studied in two sections, which are taught separately by different teachers and examined separately. It is the modular course of Edexcel. Year 12 The Pure Mathematics modules Cl and C2 together with the Mechanics module M1 are studied in Year 12 and can lead to an 'AS' Level in Mathematics. Note: Pure Mathematics consists of topics such as Algebra, Trigonometry, co-ordinate Geometry and a vital branch of Mathematics called Calculus. Mechanics deals with the study of objects at rest (statics) or in motion (dynamics) and involves concepts such as force, momentum and energy. Statistics involves the use of diagrams, averages and measures of spread to represent data as well as the study of Probability. Year 13 The Pure Mathematics modules C3 and C4 together with the Statistics module S1 are taken in Year 13 which, together with the results of the modules taken in Year 12 combine to gain an 'A' Level in Mathematics. All students, who are considering doing a Mathematics, Science or Engineering degree or who have gained an A * at GCSE should seriously consider pursuing the following course. B) Double Mathematics is a course leading to two separate 'A' Levels, Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
