Further Mathematics

For the third time, Sidcot has received The Good Schools’ Guide A Level Award for the best results achieved by boys taking Further Mathematics in the country.  This award is based on Sidcot’s post 16 performances for the three years 2006, 2007 and 2008 combined, in particular on the basis of the popularity of each subject relative to similar schools. The aim of these awards is to highlight excellent teaching in individual subjects.

For those who demonstrate real talent for the subject, Further Mathematics provides an opportunity to take this ‘double subject’ option. This demanding course offers a programme of Pure and Applied Mathematics with Decision Mathematics included in the course. Further Mathematics is an excellent foundation for those who really enjoy the subject and who want to study some aspect of Mathematics in Higher Education. As an increasingly popular subject in our Sixth Form, A Level results in Further Mathematics are exceptionally high.
