“The specialist maths schools are exceptional. King’s Maths School and Exeter Maths School are top rated sixth forms, with amazing value added scores and Oxbridge entry. Government should commit to on-going core funding and “un-pause’ its decisions on new schools for Durham and Nottingham. XTX donates ~£1.5m annually to the Maths School Network for curriculum and outreach, but core funding is crucial”.

Alexander Gerko

CEO of XTX Markets

“Education is our collective investment in understanding the world and securing the future. Education is the great social and economic equalizer. It lowers the barriers to opportunity and drives social mobility and positive life outcomes. It offers everyone the chance to develop knowledge and learn skills to transform themselves and their communities. It helps us adapt to new demands and challenges.”

Dr. Fiona Hill CMG

Chancellor of Durham University, defence advisor to the UK government and Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution, Washington DC

“communities in the North have a strong sense of place and purpose.  For regional development to succeed, we need to develop and retain the talent of young people.   Durham Mathematics School has a crucial part to play in that process.”

Ed Twiddy

Co-founder of Atom Bank and former Director of the North East LEP

“the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University has a longstanding commitment to outreach and widening participation…[and] is eager to engage in a very practical way”

Peter Bowcock

Associate Professor, Mathematical and Theoretical Particle Physics 

“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.”
