What you will learn

  • You'll study pure maths topics including calculus, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and advanced algebra.
  • You'll explore mechanics, covering forces, projectiles, moments, and constant acceleration using vectors.
  • You'll work with statistics, including probability, hypothesis testing, statistical distributions, and data interpretation.
  • You'll develop analytical and numerical reasoning skills applied to complex problems.
  • You'll practise independent learning through self-teach lessons, research tasks, and targeted revision.
  • You'll build exam technique through regular mini-assessments and formal assessments with feedback.
  • You'll strengthen collaboration and communication skills through group problem-solving activities.

How you will learn

Lessons combine presentations, worked examples, question cards, and group problem-solving activities. You'll also work independently, with differentiated tasks to extend your learning. Weekly homework includes exam question cards, self-teach lessons, research activities, and revision packs. Regular mini-assessments and formal assessments provide feedback to sharpen your exam technique. The course is assessed entirely by examination: three two-hour papers sat at the end of the two years.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Ashton Sixth Form College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Data analyst: uses statistical and numerical skills daily
  • Software developer: mathematical logic underpins programming and algorithms
  • Structural or civil engineer: calculus and mechanics are core to the role
  • Actuary: applies statistics and probability to financial risk
  • Economist: uses quantitative modelling and data interpretation
  • Physics or maths teacher: with a relevant degree and teacher training
  • Financial analyst: applies numerical reasoning to investment and forecasting

What you could study next

A Level Maths opens doors to a wide range of degree-level study. You could go on to a BSc in Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or Economics at university. If you want to specialise further in data, a degree in Statistics or Data Science builds directly on what you've covered here. Some learners also add A Level Further Mathematics alongside or after this qualification to strengthen their university application for highly competitive STEM courses.
