Exeter Mathematics School

General information

Welcome to the Exeter Mathematics School (EMS), this page will give you a taste of what we’re all about but may not answer all your questions; please do visit our website or get in touch to find out more.

We are a new 6th form school, specifically designed for able mathematics students who enjoy the subject and are keen to develop further. Situated in Exeter, we work in close partnership with Exeter College and the University of Exeter to provide the facilities and expertise needed for students to excel. We are a state-funded school and therefore do not charge for admission.
So, what makes EMS different? Those studying at the school will be surrounded by like-minded students, keen to learn and develop as mathematicians. The majority of the time, they will be studying maths or subjects closely related to it. They will explore mathematical topics in a greater depth than the normal curriculum requires, will have contact with university staff and will have an academic mentor.
By joining EMS students will have access to the excellent facilities at Exeter College. Whether they enjoy music, sport, drama or volunteering, there will be activities available to pursue. We will also provide accommodation from Monday to Thursday for anyone who lives more than an hour away. There will be a charge for this facility but students may be entitled to a bursary to help meet the cost.
If you can answer yes to all these questions, you are welcome to apply for a place next year:
Do you live in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset or Somerset?
Are you in your final year of GCSEs?
Do you enjoy Mathematics?
Are you able in mathematics (aiming for an A* at GCSE)?
Do you want to be stretched and challenged?
Are you prepared to work hard?
