A-Level Mathematics

A-Level Maths at Kingsley builds strong pure and applied mathematics, following the Edexcel specification. It suits students who did well in GCSE Maths and want the analytical foundation that competitive degrees value. Members of the Kingsley Family are taught in focused groups where problem-solving and clear reasoning are practised in every lesson.

What you’ll study

What you will study

The course combines Core Pure and Applied Mathematics. The applied element covers both mechanics and statistics, so students meet the modelling and data skills used across science and economics. Students who are strong in maths can add A-Level Further Mathematics as a second subject.

How it’s assessed

Where it leads

Where it leads

Maths is much sought-after in higher education and supports degrees and careers in economics, medicine, engineering, accountancy, psychology and the sciences. For Russell Group and Oxbridge applicants, the Top Universities Programme offers extra guidance, and the Sixth Form Welcome explains how three A-Levels, the EPQ and the Expansive Curriculum fit together. Students wanting quantitative skills without the full A-Level can consider Mathematics in Context (Core Maths).
