This evening we mark the launch of the University Maths Schools Network (U-Maths) in the House of Commons, hosted by Baroness Alison Wolf DBE.
With contributions from Alex Gerko (CEO of XTX Markets, founding supporter of U-Maths), Members of Parliament, school representatives, and alumni, the event brings together voices from across education, industry and policy.
Together we’re celebrating the achievements of the University Maths School programme - and shaping an ambitious vision for excellence and equity in mathematics education.
Ten years on, University Maths Schools are changing lives.
A new study by the Observatory for Mathematical Education, commissioned by U-Maths, finds that students at these schools achieve higher A Level grades and are significantly more likely to progress to the UK’s most selective STEM universities than comparable students elsewhere.
The benefits are greatest for girls, under-represented groups and those from low-income backgrounds - proof that Maths Schools are fulfilling their mission to open doors for the next generation of mathematical scientists.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but instead of hyping banana artworks, let’s champion modern artists striving to make art great again.
We don’t glorify banana republics—so why glorify banana art?
Let’s elevate creativity that truly inspires! Here is @SabinHoward.
Delighted to see our network of outstanding schools featured in @thetimes on Saturday: ‘Girls excel as maths schools multiply’.
With over 30% female students and strong results, we’re building a strong pipeline of Mathematical Scientists from under-represented backgrounds (1/6)
@feynzz Just to add to the other messages, always enjoy and appreciate your posts. Adults understand that they are responsible for their own actions, many children do not.
@MylesMcNulty@avacta Does sum up where we are when shareholders have to press management to communicate.
Given the share price performance one might think this would be a priority that they would address without the need to be prompted!
By the end of this decade we will have added a million more school places, the biggest school capacity expansion for at least two generations - including through innovative Free Schools, and encouraging Good and Outstanding schools to expand.
