Are you/do you…

- wanting to continue your mathematical studies?
- interested in applying mathematical concepts to real life?
- wanting to compliment your other course choices?

How will you be assessed?

We will be following the AQA (spec code 1350) specification. This is a one-year linear course with exams in the summer of Year 12.

What will I study?

Paper 1: analysis of data, maths for personal finance, estimation.
Paper 2: critical analysis of given data and models including spreadsheets and tabular data, critical path and risk analysis.

How will this course support my future plans?

A qualification in Core Mathematical studies would be highly attractive to Universities and future employers where students can demonstrate they have mathematical knowledge beyond GCSE.
It helps to develop students’ mathematical skills and thinking and supports courses such as A-Level Psychology, Sciences and Geography as well as technical and vocational qualifications.
