King's College London Maths School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 September 2024

From the beginning of their time at the school, students quickly get to know each other through events that staff and students organise, such as bushcraft trips and clubs. This leads to a friendly, close-knit community that students value for its inclusivity. Students feel safe at the school. They say that the school feels like a second home. Students embrace the culture that leaders set, which they refer to as 'productive struggle'. With the support of highly committed and skilled teachers and tutors, students work collaboratively in the classroom to challenge themselves. Outside lessons, groups of students and staff make excellent use of well-designed break-out spaces to discuss complex maths and physics problems with great enthusiasm. Students thoroughly enjoy this way of working. They grow into confident, articulate scholars who are well prepared for demanding undergraduate courses. They achieve exceptionally high grades in their A levels and university entrance tests that enable them to go on to their chosen universities.
