Some people argue that Mathematics is only used in a classroom, and boils down merely to complicated formulae and using a calculator. However, Mathematics is everywhere: it is a universal language which can be applied in almost every aspect of life.
As a department, we endeavour to instil in our students a sense of wonder at how Mathematics manifests in the real world and can explain many different things. We do this whilst helping them to become problem-solvers who show resilience, are confident in explaining their methods and ideas and who are resourceful, creative and collaborative.
In the Sixth Form, we offer the Edexcel A-level Mathematics course, where students study a mixture of Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. We also offer A-level Further Mathematics, which provides an excellent and thorough preparation for Mathematics or a mathematically-related field at university. For students with an interest in Oxbridge, we provide bespoke support and tuition for MAT and STEP.
Solving a problem for which you know there’s an answer is like climbing a mountain with a guide, along a trail someone else has laid. In mathematics, the truth is somewhere out there in a place no one knows, beyond all the beaten paths. And it’s not always at the top of the mountain. It might be in a crack on the smoothest cliff or somewhere deep in the valley. Yoko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor
The important thing to remember about mathematics is not to be frightened. Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker
