Maths (A-Level)

Love solving puzzles? Curious about how technology really works? We’re all about making maths come alive by applying knowledge and skills to real scenarios. We’ll hone in on your curiosity to see how far you can take a concept and push you to think creatively.

Why study A-Level Maths at Ada?

Mathematics is one of the most versatile and respected A-Levels. It enhances logical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, all of which are valuable for further education and a wide range of careers.

Through our industry projects with our corporate partners you’ll explore how coding helps you understand mathematical functions, use technology to analyse data, and tackle open-ended problems just like those in real work places.

This is not just about equations; it is about developing essential skills like effective communication, collaboration and rigorous thinking, all core to our Ada values.

What will I learn?

You’ll study Pure Mathematics (algebra, calculus, trigonometry, etc.), Statistics (data analysis, probability) and Mechanics (forces, motion).

How will I be assessed?

Exam board: Pearson Edexcel

Three written papers at the end of Year 13:
Paper 1 & 2: Pure Mathematics
Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics

Each paper is 2 hours long and equally weighted

How will I be taught?

Through a mix of teacher-led instruction, worked examples, collaborative problem-solving, and independent practice. Visual and interactive tools (e.g. graphing software, whiteboards) will support learning.

Key links / reading lists / website links:

Access recommended reading lists, essential websites, and primary sources for Maths.

Maths Results

In 2024, Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, achieved a Value Added (VA) score of +1.2, ranking us 10th nationally out of 2,210 institutions for A-Level Maths where Value Added was published and where students completed the full course.

This means that, on average, our students achieved more than a grade higher than expected, placing Ada among the very best in the country for student progress in Mathematics.
