Core Maths (Additional Studies)

While we have passed our January application deadline, we do invite late/further applications or expressions of interest (contact us using - sixthform@samuelward.co.uk).

Core Mathematics is an exciting Mathematics qualification. It is the Maths you need to move on to independent living, as you think about leaving home and getting a job. Core Mathematics makes you more mathematically aware, more employable and less susceptible to the mathematical pitfalls of life. This course is ideal if you enjoy Maths (but are not taking the A-level), and will support your other A-level studies. It is widely welcomed by universities, with some altering entry requirements for those with a high grade in this qualification. You can choose Core Maths alongside three other subjects.
