Further Maths

Overview

For talented mathematicians, we offer a Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths, designed to bridge the gap between the GCSE course and Level 3 qualifications such as A-levels and apprenticeships. This qualification stretches and challenges students, building on the GCSE Mathematics curriculum. It is suitable for students who are expected to achieve grades 7,8 and 9 in GCSE Mathematics, and are likely to progress to A-Level study in Mathematics or Further Mathematics. 

Key Stage 4

The following topics are covered in the course:

  • Number
  • Algebra
  • Coordinate Geometry (2 dimensions)
  • Calculus
  • Matrix Transformations
  • Geometry

Assessment

There are two assessment papers covering the breadth of the specification, each worth 50% (one with calculators, one without) and each containing a mix of question styles.
