Cllr Elizabeth Scott

“Durham and the wider North East have made significant economic strides in recent years with important growth sectors including Space and Satellite, Advanced Manufacturing and Life Sciences. These are sectors that rely on us nurturing talent through our education system and ensuring that we offer the very best possible learning opportunities to our children and young people. Education is an ecosystem and have a Maths School in our Region is critical to that ecosystem optimising. A Maths School will provide the opportunity for young people from across the region who have a fascination for the subject to be stretched and challenged. From there they can go on to study at the very best Universities and on to make significant contributions to the Region and to global society.”
