Pure is a part of the further maths syllabus, so the two can't be compared.

I assume you mean the normal maths A level rather than pure maths? It depends what modules your school chooses for you to take e.g. in my sixth form we do
Maths AS
Core 1 (anyone taking maths does this)
Core 2 (anyone taking maths does this)
Stats 1
Maths A2
Core 3 (anyone taking maths does this)
Core 4 (anyone taking maths does this)
Decision 1

Further Maths AS
Futher Pure 1 (anyone doing further maths does this)
Mechanics 1
Mechanics 2

Further Maths A2
Further Pure 3
Stats 2
Stats 3
(at A2 I think people usually do further pure 2 or 3)
