Year 12

With Further Maths, the content had to be designed to incorporate cooperation with Compton school, making sure that the key topics are covered first and the more complex ones later. The first topic that the students work on at the beginning of Year 12 is Complex Numbers. They find it very exciting as they have not done any work with that type of numbers before. They seem strange and counterintuitive at first, but very powerful and beautiful a little later.

Year 13

For Further Maths, our flexibility with the curriculum is limited because of the joint lessons with Compton school, but with the strong grasp of Year 12 concepts and parallel teaching of core pure and option modules we are confident that our students are well prepared for their final exams.
