Introduction
Students wishing to take A-Level Mathematics at Haydon School must achieve at least a grade B (preferably a grade A or A*) at GCSE and score a minimum of 14 out of 30 on an entrance examination. Students wishing to study Further Maths should be achieving an A or A* at GCSE and be achieving at least 20 out of the 30 on the entrance examination. The A-Level Entrance Examination takes place on Foundation Day – Wednesday 26th June 2013. Students will take the exam in their timetabled maths lessons on that day. The examination is a non-calculator paper. A reserve date for this entrance examination has been set for those students who are unable to attend Foundation Day. This will be Thursday 11th July from 9:30am to 10.20am in the Sixth Form Common Room (SCR). Students who pass the entrance examination, but score less than 20 marks may have the opportunity to be timetabled for an additional weekly lesson in Year 12 to help develop algebraic skills. Students who fail the entrance examination and subsequently achieve a Grade A (or above) at GCSE, will have the opportunity to sit a second entrance examination on Monday 2nd September 2013 from 9.30 am – 10.20am in the Mathematics Department. The criteria for passing are the same as above. Students who fail the entrance exam and achieve a Grade B will not be able to resit, and thus not able to study A Level Mathematics
