Key Stage 5

Mathematics

Since September 2006 we have offered post-16 teaching and are following the AQA courses for both Mathematics and Further Mathematics. In the Sixth Form we currently have 133 students studying A-level Mathematics and 15 students studying Further Mathematics.

In Year 12 pupils study modules Core 1, Core 2 and Statistics 1; in Year 13 they study Core 3, Core 4 and Mechanics 1. Further Mathematics pupils study Further Pure 1, Decision 1 and Statistics 2 in Year 12; in Year 13 they study Further Pure 3, Further Pure 4 and Mechanics 2.

In 2016 67% of our students achieved an A*-B grade at A-Level Mathematics and 70% achieved an A*-B grade at A-Level Further Mathematics.
