Outreach and Enrichment

Outreach Activity

Imperial College London Mathematics School aims to support young people from across the local area who enjoy maths and science. We do this through delivering a range of outreach activities in schools and on campus.

We have developed and launched an exciting range of outreach activities for students from KS3 to KS4. Outreach activities take place in-school, after-school and during holidays and include workshops, masterclasses, taster events (online and in person) and competitions. Please contact us if you have any suggestions, questions, or ideas about our outreach work.

Easter School for year 11s

In the Easter holidays, we are excited to be hosting an Easter School revision programme for year 11 students who want to secure 7s and above in their upcoming GCSE exams! Our Easter School is a two-day programme that will run on Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 of April.

As part of our aim to widen participation, preference will be given to applicants who are from groups currently underrepresented in the mathematical sciences. We are specifically looking for students who are stuyding at state school, female, and non-binary students, and students in receipt of Free School Meals or Pupil Premium funding to take part. We will also limit the number of places allocated per school. However, all students are welcome to apply here.

If you have any questions about the Easter School, please contact outreach@imperialmathsschool.ac.uk.

Maths Extra for Year 10s

In the second half of the spring term 2025, launched Maths Extra for year 10s. This will run after school in-person on Tuesdays. Maths Extra is designed for students who have a passion and talent for maths, who want to expand their knowledge beyond the GCSE curriculum. Students who take part in Maths Extra for year 10s will be able to continue the course through into the 2025-26 academic year in year 11.

Express your interest in joining Maths Extra for year tens by filling out this form. We are not currently accepting new applicants, though we will in the summer term. If you have any questions about the course, please contact outreach@imperialmathsschool.ac.uk.

Axiom Maths

We have partnered with Axiom Maths (formerly MESME) to deliver Maths Circles to students in local schools. Our first cohort is currently comprised of Year 8 and 9 students, and in the Autumn term of 2024 they were joined by our second cohort, consisting of Year 7 students.

These sessions are held each Wednesday afternoon, with one in every four sessions being in-person at Imperial Maths School and the rest being online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Students are mentored by Imperial undergraduate students and the lessons are organised into 'maths circles'; groups of 5-7 students plus one mentor. In these smaller groups, students get a chance to explore problem solving methods and discuss in detail their working.

Nominations are currently closed, but if you want to know more about Axiom Maths, email outreach@imperialmathsschool.ac.uk.
