Surrey Maths School

We are delighted to welcome you to Surrey Maths School, a new venture bringing the dynamic and inspiring ethos of a maths school to the brilliant young minds of Surrey and its surrounds. Surrey Maths School (SuMS) is a specialist provider of A Levels - all students study Maths and Further Maths, and have options to pick from Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics and Physics.

We opened our doors to our first cohort of Y12 students in September 2024, and are so excited to be building a community of like-minded and inquisitive young people in a school focused around the values of Compassion, Integrity, Collaboration, Aspiration and Innovation.

This project, in collaboration with the University of Surrey, is about widening participation and increasing access to mathematical sciences for all. The creation of this new hub of maths excellence in the South East region will bring together bright young mathematicians in a space where they can truly thrive, alongside a range of Outreach projects focused on inspiring students of all ages and working with teachers on a local and national scale. This is a unique opportunity to diversify the teaching of the mathematical sciences in our fantastic purpose-built building.
