Exeter Mathematics School is a mixed free school sixth form located in Exeter in the English county of Devon.[1]

The school was established in September 2014 by the University of Exeter and Exeter College. It is intended to be a regional centre of excellence in mathematics for Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset.[2] As a result the school offers boarding facilities for pupils who live more than an hours drive away from the school.[3]

The school is highly selective, with prospective students expected to have GCSE qualifications at grade A* in Mathematics and grade A in Physics, Computer Science or Double/Triple Science. Propective students must also have five GCSEs in total at grade C or above including English. The course structure of Exeter Mathematics School requires all students to study A-level Mathematics and either A-level Physics or Computer Science. Students then choose an additional A-level from a wider range of options, which are taught at Exeter College.[4]
