MESME

Mathematics Education for Social Mobility Excellence (MESME) is a registered education charity on a mission to make England a more productive and socially mobile country. Half of disadvantaged children who are high attainers in mathematics at eleven are no longer high attainers by age sixteen. That is a huge loss of human potential that affects both those children as individuals and us as a wider society. We are focused on stopping that loss.

We do this by finding children with mathematical potential, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and guide them along a path to mathematical excellence. We take a dual pronged approach: providing an in-school programme to improve their experience of maths, and tackling harmful views in society that stop children from feeling like maths is for them.

We are currently expanding our approach and developing our organisation to meet this mission over the next ten years.
