King's College London Mathematics School

King’s College London Mathematics School is a state school for students aged 16-19 with a particular aptitude and enthusiasm for mathematics. It was opened in September 2014 by King’s College London in response to the government’s programme to improve the supply of good mathematicians, engineers, physicists and computer scientists into our best universities, and aims to provide challenging and stimulating teaching by outstanding teachers, especially for students who would otherwise not have access to this quality of teaching. The school is committed to developing well-rounded young people and engages students in a rich extended curriculum that enables their personal development alongside their academic development.

King’s College London Mathematics School’s has 140 students split between year 12 and year 13. There is a selective admissions procedure involving a mathematics aptitude assessment as well as an interview. The process favours candidates for whom the school is likely to make the greatest impact on their futures. The school is based in Lambeth, within walking distance of Lambeth North and Waterloo stations.
