About Us
The University of Liverpool Maths School is one of eight 16-19 Specialist Mathematics Schools in England
We are an ambitious and close-knit learning community where everyone shares the same passion for problem solving, analytical thinking and understanding the world mathematically. Our teachers are highly qualified academics who are passionate about providing the best possible learning and career opportunities to all high-potential students in our region.
We’re informal in the way we work with each other, but quite formal in the way we work with mathematics. We find students with high potential in the mathematical sciences and put them through a rigorous but very supportive educational programme to prepare them for the most challenging STEM degrees and careers.
We offer A-Level students the opportunity to delve deeper into mathematical theory and the links between mathematics, physics and computing. Find out more about the curriculum here.
We prepare our students to be confident in making the step from school to a demanding STEM degree course, and then to succeed in that course having already learned how to manage their learning, how to communicate and how to collaborate with a team. We teach these things explicitly in our AMP and PPEP courses.
We love maths, but we also believe in providing a broader education that covers personal well-being, physical exercise, the humanities and the arts.
Through our outreach programme, the University of Liverpool Maths School is committed to developing and retaining talent in the region, ensuring students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to achieve their academic potential.
We make conditional offers to students who we believe have the potential to thrive on our challenging curriculum: find out more here. We are keen to find students who have faced barriers and disadvantage and help them to succeed in STEM, and the selection process aims to support these students.
