The University Maths Schools Network

Who we are

U-Maths is the national charity for University Maths Schools in England.

Our vision is that every young person with an affinity for mathematics can thrive and succeed.

Our mission is to advance excellence and equity in mathematics education by strengthening and growing the national network of University Maths Schools.

There are currently nine state-funded University Maths Schools across England, each established in partnership with a leading university and specialising in mathematics and the mathematical sciences for students aged 16–19. The network continues to grow, with two further schools in Nottingham and Durham due to open. Together, they are helping more young people – particularly those from backgrounds currently under-represented in the mathematical sciences – to access an outstanding mathematics education and progress to ambitious futures.

U-Maths supports the network by developing shared expertise, leading national initiatives, strengthening collaboration between schools, and advocating for policies that improve excellence and equity in mathematics education. We also work with universities, employers, funders and other partners to increase the impact of University Maths Schools and help more young people benefit from an outstanding mathematics education.
