Course Information for Students
Who is this course for?
In A-level Maths you will study pure maths, statistics and mechanics.
Entry Requirements
You will need at least five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language at grade 5 and Maths at grade 7.
Where you have a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics, you will need to pass our own assessment of your algebra skills to ensure these are well developed enough for you to succeed on the course. Decisions will be taken on a student-by-student basis, taking into account a range of factors.
A recent school report will be required which demonstrates a committed attitude to learning.
It is assumed that students enrol on a two-year A-level programme of study consisting of three or more subjects. However, students will be expected to demonstrate a committed attitude to learning and make positive progress in their first year of study.
What will you learn?
In pure maths you will develop your skills in algebra, co-ordinate geometry, sequences and trigonometry and you will be introduced to calculus, exponentials and logarithms.
In statistics you will investigate different kinds of statistical distributions, sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability and hypothesis testing.
In mechanics you will study vectors, forces and motion.
How will you learn?
This course will be delivered on-site at the Joseph Wright Centre.
What will you need to bring with you?

How will you be assessed?
Your progress will be monitored throughout the year.
Formal assessment is by examination in May/June of Year 2.
