There are two pathways for Further Mathematics:

Pathway A: Mathematics, Further Mathematics & Advanced Extension Award Mathematics.

This course is suitable for those who have already studied a Level 3 qualification such as AS Mathematics or FMSQ Mathematics.

Students will study all of Mathematics A-level in Year 12 and sit the final examinations at the end of the year along with the Advanced Extension Award – an additional Level 3 qualification that is designed to challenge the most able students in the country who would already be achieving an A* in Mathematics A-level.

Further Mathematics A-level is then studied in its entirety in Year 13 where students will study Core Pure 1 & 2 with Further Statistics 1, Further Mechanics 1 & Further Pure Mathematics 1 as our optional modules. The most able students will also be encouraged to self-study a sixth module of their own choosing.

This exact Mathematics course is unique to Newman College and is the best preparation for undergraduate study at the most competitive universities available.

Pathway B: Mathematics & Further Mathematics.

Students study Mathematics and Further Mathematics in parallel across Year 12 and 13 – all students sit AS Further Mathematics at the end of Year 12. 

Students study Further Statistics 1 and Further Mechanics 1 to support their A-level Mathematics.

For the most able students there will be an opportunity to also sit the Advanced Extension Award in Mathematics at the end of Year 13.

Only students who achieve an A grade in Further Maths AS will continue to study the full A-level and as such this course must be taken as part of a 4 A-level pathway.

Enrollment on these courses is limited to 16 students to maintain a small-group, tutorial-style teaching environment.
