Brief introduction to subject:
The teaching is shared between three teachers and pupils should expect up to two hours work per teacher per week, to be completed outside of the lessons.
This course will build upon GCSE Mathematics knowledge to a greater extent than single Mathematics - extending familiar algebraic, spatial and statistical concepts. It therefore has to be taken in conjunction with single mathematics at A Level.
