Year
Twelve
The schemes of work intend to cover all
that is required for the three modules ‘Methods’, ‘Mechanics
1’ and ‘Pure 1’ in this first year. ‘Methods’ will
be split between two teachers and will be completed
before the end of the Michaelmas term. The
course should be complete by the end of the Lent
term, in order to allow plenty of time for preparation
and revision for the external examinations in June. TOP
Year
Thirteen
The students will cover ‘Statistics 1’ in
the first term, with a view to sitting the examination
in January. ‘Pure 2’ will be taught over the first two terms
by the other teacher, while ‘Pure 3’ will
be split between the two teachers. This
leaves plenty of time for revision and preparation
for the external A2 exams in June.
Each student receives a series of dates at the beginning
of each term, detailing coursework deadlines, examination
and test dates and an indication as to the rate at
which the specifications will be worked through. This
is one method used in order to encourage the students
to organise and take responsibility for their own work.
The aim of these two years is not only to draw the
best out of each student in terms of a final grade,
but also to develop mathematicians who enjoy the subject
and have the ability to question and think for themselves.

Further Maths
The students cover ‘Pure 6’ (Matrices)
in the first year with one teacher, and ‘Discrete
1’ and ‘Mechanics 2’ with the second
teacher. In
the following year, one teacher covers ‘Discrete
2’ and ‘Pure 5’(Differential Equations)
while the other teaches ‘Pure 4’ (Complex
Numbers).
