King's College London Mathematics School

King’s Maths School is for students with a particular aptitude and enthusiasm for mathematics. Our safe, welcoming and stimulating environment enables students and staff to learn together and to thrive. Through our work, we widen participation in mathematical degrees and careers at the very best universities and institutions.

The state-funded school was opened in September 2014 by King’s College London, and since then its students have consistently achieved unparalleled attainment and progress through A Level results that have established the school as the top performing school in the country. Following the school’s success, maths schools are now being opened by universities across the UK. The school was recently awarded State Sixth Form School of the Decade by The Sunday Times.

All students at the school take Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics to A-level, and either Computer Science or Economics to AS-level. They also take part in an extended curriculum that develops research, independence, literacy and communication skills, and that encourages the development of interests and of a healthy lifestyle. The school’s educational ethos involves supporting students’ future fulfilment by enabling confident self-expression both within and without our curriculum.

The school is located on Lambeth Walk, near to the Imperial War Museum and a short walk from King’s College London’s Waterloo campus. The school has 150 students split between year 12 and year 13.
