History of the School
In 2011 it became clear that there was a growing demand for a specialised STEM college. The result was The National Mathematics and Science College, a unique concentration of skill and talent with the aim of preparing the world's best students to read Maths, Science, Medicine and other top disciplines at the world's leading universities. After several years of planning by the College's founders, The National Mathematics and Science College opened its doors in September 2016 and has gone from strength to strength since.
Pre-16 qualifications
Our Pre-A level programme is designed to act as a foundation for our 2 Year A Level programme, specifically for our non-native English speakers. During the year all students study: Mathematics Biology Chemistry Physics Computer Science English. The purpose of the Pre-A Level programme is to establish a firm foundation to enable students to thrive in the two-year A Level programme. During the course of the year they will work intensively on their English language skills, and develop the practical science skills necessary to excel in A Level study.
Post 16 qualifications
All students study Mathematics and typically up to 3 other A level subjects selected from: Biology Chemistry Computer Science Economics Further Mathematics Physics.NatMatSci's Preparation for Medicine Programme is takes our A-level programme and creates a wrap-around programme of resources and activities that specifically to support students looking to apply for medicine and medical related fields such as biomedical science, dentistry and pharmacology.Our intensive one-year course is designed for students who have a clear and demonstrable ability to fast-track their studies and complete A levels to grade A*- A in one year.
Academic performance

Having such a range of staff available to help with anything and everything ensures each pupil has someone they can turn to whenever they need it.
