P1 syllabus for differentiation
8. Differentiation • understand the idea of the gradient of a curve, and use the notations
f’(x), f’’(x), dy/dx, d^2y,dx^2 (the technique of differentiation from first
principles is not required);
• use the derivative of xn (for any rational n), together with constant
multiples, sums, differences of functions, and of composite functions
using the chain rule;
• apply differentiation to gradients, tangents and normals, increasing
and decreasing functions and rates of change (including connected
rates of change);
• locate stationary points, and use information about stationary points in
sketching graphs (the ability to distinguish between maximum points
and minimum points is required, but identification of points of inflexion
is not included).

I am guessing you guys dont have addmaths :p and yeah its not wrong to learn it it saves alot of time you only have simple differential equations or rate of change questions
