As you might be aware, there is a Mathematics A-level entrance exam. This is to ensure that students have all appropriate skills from GCSE Maths. If students pass the A-level entrance exam on Wednesday 19th June, they will not need to attend the ‘Preparing for A-Level Maths’ course.

We want to support all students to be successful in the A-Level Maths course and so, if students failed the A-level entrance exam within 10% of the pass mark, they will be able to re-sit the exam at the end of a 5 day ‘Preparing for A-Level Maths’ course. Attendance at the course is a requirement for the opportunity of re-taking the entrance exam.

Below is a timetable for the entrance exams and preparation course.

If a student does not achieve the pass mark, he/she will not be accepted on the A-Level Maths course.

Students are expected to be in school uniform for the exam and all subsequent sessions and should have the required equipment for the sessions.

Once again, thank you for choosing to study A-Level Maths and we look forward to working with you on this course and during your time in the Sixth form at Riverside School.
