When i took Prelims back in 2006 there was a compulsory maths question which involved calculus and other maths that you wouldn't encounter at GCSE. The 2 (out of 9) PPEist in my year who didn't have A-level maths had to go to extra lessons in the first year to catch. Oxford have since made maths even more important for Prelims and quantitative economics is now a compulsory final honours economics paper along with micro and macro. So while it isn't essential to have A level Maths I would recommend it as it does make things easier especially if you do.
