A Level Mathematics

Students enjoy its challenge, its clarity, and the satisfaction of solving problems.

The Maths A level course gives students the essential tools required to study and understand abstract ideas in a wide range of contexts. Alongside Pure Mathematics, you will also study Mechanics, building on Newtonian ideas of motion and forces, and Statistics, which enables you to analyse and interpret the real world through data analysis.
