About Imperial College London Mathematics School

Imperial College London Mathematics School is a state-funded 16-19 mixed secondary in Barnet, and its intake figures tell a clear story of high demand.

Of those applicants, 202 put it as their first preference, and 193 first-preference offers were made. The school’s percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44%, which is notably high compared with the national average for state secondaries and suggests a genuinely diverse socioeconomic intake.
