Any experience of Imperial Maths School for 6th form?

[skylife]

Could anyone who study or work there share their experience? Are students happy there? Is it good choice if one wants to be physicist? How many go to Russell group or Oxbridge? What about extracurricular?

Thanks a lot for sharing

Have a look on The Student Room for some threads about ICLMS and comments from some of the students.

There are no past results/destinations as the first cohort are only just taking their A level exams now.

At the last opening evening, someone asked about the expected proportion of students going to Oxbridge and a teacher said they couldn’t say for sure but they expected the number to be very good.

Looking at the other maths schools performance might be a guide. Exeter has been open over 10 years and along with the newer Liverpool maths school, gets excellent results.

Kings maths school’s first cohort incredibly got the highest average A level points score in the country.

I think you can be fairly confident that the newer maths schools like Imperial will get excellent results from the start.

IIRC, several teachers at Imperial used to work at Kings maths school.

@skylife Have you seen the school's first A level results? They look very impressive.

"65.5% of grades across Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry were A grades. 97.7% of Maths grades were A or A.

Physics was particularly outstanding - 100% of students got an A or A*.

Based on what I saw and heard at the open days of several maths schools including Imperial, I'd say if Physics and/or or Engineering was your main interest, it might be the best of the maths school on paper.

Just going by the post-A level destinations featured on their websites and social media rather than the full detailed data, Imperial seem to have a higher proportion of students who are going on to do engineering degrees compared to the other maths schools.

12% of students went to Oxbridge, 12% went to Imperial College.

I'm sure if you go to the next open evening in the autumn you'll get all the answers you're looking for.
