Mathematics forms the basis of fundamental reasoning and logic. It is core to formulating theories and methods in order to understand nature and is therefore vital for understanding all fields of Science, Finance, and Engineering. Studying Mathematics creates connections in the brain that promote the brain's ability to change over time, thus aiding in the learning process for everything we learn.


The GCSE in Mathematics covers the core fundamentals of the subject, particularly tailored for applications to everyday life as well as further education in Mathematics and other linked subjects. The major strands of the subject covered are Number, Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. This gives learners a strong and varied grounding in all the major areas of Mathematics.

The Further Mathematics Level 2 course is a natural extension to every fundamental area of GCSE Mathematics, covering Number, Algebra, and Geometry to a more profound level. These delve into techniques and methods employed in A-Level Mathematics and A-Level Further Mathematics. The course aims to extend leaners' grasp of Mathematics and amply prepares them for further education in the subject.

The A-Level Mathematics course has very far-reaching benefits, deepening one's modelling skills and ability to dissect problems in order to solve them via different approaches. As a result, this is a very sought-after A-Level for many technical courses at University. The course is split up into three sub-sections; Pure Mathematics and the two main branches of Applied Mathematics - Statistics and Mechanics. These aim to give learners a strong and varied grounding in the subject, including its applications to solving real-life problems.

The A-Level Further Mathematics course is an extension of the A-Level Mathematics course, which aims to give learners a very strong background in the subject that delves into topics at a University level. These underpin University courses including but not limited to Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, and Computer Science. The course is split up into three sub-sections; Pure Mathematics and two branches of Applied Mathematics - Discrete and Mechanics. The Pure Mathematics section covers many areas including complex numbers, further trigonometry, matrices, differential equations, and vectors. Discrete develops learners' understanding of networks, network theory and game theory and is highly applicable in Computer Science and strategic planning contexts. Mechanics provides a strong grounding in the Physics applications of Mathematics, providing a solid basis for modelling and solving physical problems.
