Allerton Grange High School

KS5

Courses Offered

AS/A-level Mathematics

As/A-level Mathematics is taught on a modular basis, and follows the Edexcel syllabus.We expect students to have at least a grade B in order to be accepted for this course.

Pupils are taught for 4 periods a week in year 12 and 5 in year 13 and are expected to undertake considerable independent study outside of lessons. For an AS Level in Mathematics (normally done in year 12) students study three modules

Core 1

Core 2

Decision 1/Statistics 1/Mechanics 1

All equally weighted towards the final grade.

Pupils who decide to go on to continue their study and take A-level Mathematics will study a further three modules

Core 3

Core 4

A further module chosen from Statistics, Mechanics or Decision

Making six in total

AS/A-level Further Mathematics

In addition to AS/A-level Mathematics, students can take Further Mathematics, this involves taking 3 (AS-level) or 6 (A-level) Modules which include Further Maths 1, Further Maths 2, Further Maths 3 and further study of either Discrete, Mechanics or Statistics. Pupils taking this option are taught with other Mathematics students for the main course, and then have supplementary lessons for the Further course. As this course is difficult we would normally expected candidates to have an A* at GCSE

Students with A-level Further Mathematics are in a significantly better position when it comes to Mathematics courses at university and in Mathematical professions.

GCSE Resit

We offer pupils the chance in sixth to resit their GCSE Mathematics in order to improve their grade. Pupils taking this option currently receive 2 hours of Mathematics lessons per week and follow the modular system as outlined in the GCSE Mathematics information- with the year focussed on a resit of GCSE Module 5
