Maths is a very popular subject at Crossley Heath. We have 200 students taking the subject at A Level with 10 teachers delivering all aspects of the Key Stage 5 curriculum. We follow the Edexcel specification. Methods of Study A typical lesson is classroom based, with some traditional teaching, some groupwork and discussion, some time spent working through questions and some time looking at applications of core maths concepts to real-life problem solving. Maths students have 4 ½ hours of lessons per week, whilst Further Maths will have 8 hours of lessons per week. Students will be given 4 hours of homework a week (8 hours for Further Maths) outside the classroom to encourage them to learn independently. Teacher support is always available with regular revision sessions and a thriving student mentoring scheme. Career Applications A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics can open doors. Throughout the Mathematics programme, students are encouraged to think logically, practically and analytically. These fundamental Maths skills are useful across all kinds of disciplines and careers. A-level Mathematics and Further Mathematics is a good choice for students considering higher education in any Science or Maths-based course, ranging from: computer science, biochemical sciences, natural sciences, engineering, medical sciences and psychology to statistics, economics, accountancy, management and actuarial science. Career opportunities for students who study Mathematics include: computer science, industry, accountancy, finance, economics, insurance, healthcare, medicine, veterinary science and engineering.
