Starting in September 2023, Fearnhill will offer two post-16 maths pathways: A Level and Core Maths.
Core Maths
AQA Certificate Level 3 Mathematical Studies
Core Maths is an excellent option for students who wish to continue to improve their maths to support other subjects they wish to study at A Level such as – well, just about anything!
As a core maths student you will study the following topics in two lesson hours per week:
- Analysis of data
- Maths for personal finance
- Estimation
- Critical analysis of given data and models
- The normal distribution
- Probabilities and estimation
- Correlation and regression
Apart from the unit on the maths needed to manage one’s own personal finances, these topics are geared towards the analysis and interpretation of data. This fits perfectly with the type mathematical content of A Levels as diverse as economics, history, psychology, biology and sociology.
Any Fearnhill Post-16 student with at least a grade 4 in GCSE Maths will be welcome and able to study Core Maths and it is highly recommended for any student that feels unable or unwilling to study maths at A Level.
