Mathematics schools are specialized sixth forms focusing on math and related subjects. Cambridge Maths School joins a network of successful mathematics schools partnered with prestigious universities. Students study A Level Maths and Further Maths, along one or two science subjects. These schools offer enriched curriculums and extensive outreach programs to support underrepresented groups in STEM.

Our partnership with top-ranked institutions ensures excellent teaching and a vibrant student experience. We leverage the expertise of the University of Cambridge and other educational leaders to provide a unique and inspiring environment.

Cambridge Maths School is for aspiring mathematicians, scientists, and engineers aged 16 to 19 who are dedicated and curious. Applicants should aim for high grades in GCSE Mathematics and will be selected based on an admissions test and interview.

Cambridge Maths School is located on Mill Road in Cambridge. We are in a purpose-built facility equipped with the latest educational technology and laboratories.

We are a new school and the first cohort of students will take their A level examinations in the summer of 2025.

All students will study A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Additionally, students will choose one or two other subjects from the following options:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics
• Computer Science

Our curriculum also includes problem-solving classes and projects to deepen knowledge beyond traditional A Levels.

Studying four A Levels is beneficial if you are passionate about all subjects. However, universities do not require four A Levels, and the increased workload requires excellent time management.

A Level Further Maths is excellent preparation for STEM subjects at top universities. It is required or recommended for many mathematics, engineering, and physics degrees.

We are committed to inclusivity and provide support for students with additional needs. Our facilities are designed to accommodate various requirements, and we offer reasonable adjustments to support all students.

Applicants will undergo an admissions test and interview. Performance in these, along with contextual information, will determine if a conditional offer is made. Offers typically require high grades in relevant GCSE subjects.

The University of Cambridge supports our outreach and super-curricular programs and provides guidance for our curriculum. University members are involved in the governance and strategic direction of the school.

Graduates with Mathematics qualifications have diverse career opportunities, including finance, IT, telecommunications, accounting, data science, media, sports, and transportation.

For the upcoming academic year, Cambridge Maths School will have a limited number of places, which will increase in subsequent years.

Applicants will be notified by the end of March. Some may be placed on a waiting list.

If you do not meet the conditions, you may lose your place to someone on the waiting list. Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
