Lancaster University School of Mathematics
Lancaster University School of Mathematics, also known as LUSoM, is a maths school located in Preston, Lancashire, England.[3][4][5][6][7] As a maths school, it is a specialist mathematics free school sixth form college.
The school was set up by the Rigby Education Trust,[8] a single-academy trust set up in partnership between the Lancaster University and Cardinal Newman College for the purpose of opening and operating the school.[9] It opened to students in September 2022[10] and is located in a £8.5 million school building on London Road, Preston,[6][3] and is the first purpose-built specialist Maths School in the UK.[11]
The school is highly selective, with prospective students expected to have GCSE mathematics qualification at grade 8 or 9 and required to sit an admissions assessment.[12] The course structure at LUSoM requires all students to study A-level Mathematics and Further Mathematics and a third A-level from either Physics, Chemistry or Computer Science. In addition, students may select a fourth subject from those three, or choose any other A-level subject to be taught at Cardinal Newman College, which is located less than half a mile from the school site.[12]
