Clubs and Societies
Lunchtime and after-school clubs and societies are an excellent way for students to develop their interests. We expect our students at Cambridge Mathematics School to lead the plans in developing clubs that inspire and interest them. This might include Robotics Club, Theatre productions, Engineering and Design, Orchestra, Bridge Club, Board Games Club, Film Society etc. You could also choose to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award Scheme. Some students will run clubs at the KS2 and KS3 Trust schools. You will be encouraged to attend open lectures at Cambridge University.
Sport and Exercise
Our programme of sport is designed to encourage you to take up a form of exercise that you enjoy and that will help you to live a healthy life.
We will make use of local facilities to provide options that are all within walking distance of the school. You will create a personalised programme that meets your interests and is beneficial to your health and fitness. For example, you might choose to play football, engage in a fitness programme at the sports centre’s fitness centre, go for a walk or a run, play table tennis, learn golf etc.
