Further Maths

Further Maths extends the topics studied in A Level Maths. Many of the topics act as a stepping stone to ideas which will be explored in the first year of a mathematical degree course.

This is a good A-level to study for students wanting to continue Maths at university or for students that are particularly gifted at Maths and have a real interest in the subject.

Exam Board: We study Edexcel Further Maths.

Entry Requirements: As well as the standard Sixth Form requirements, you must also have GCSE Grade 8 or above in Maths.

Key Content: The course covers pure content (including algebra, calculus, sequences, complex numbers) and applied content (mechanics, statistics and decision mathematics).

What is the work like? As an example of the kind of work that you will cover during the A-Level course, please find the pre-A-Level material that we asked Year 11 to complete before starting their course with us in September.

Assessment

To achieve an A Level in Further Maths, there will be 4 one and a half hour exams at the end of Year 2.
