Thank you for considering The Math for your A Level study. When applying to us you are making a commitment, not just to complete your classwork and homework, but to fully embrace an approach to the study of A Levels as your full-time job. We promote and require an ‘academic working week’, because students exceeding their target grades are statistically proven to engage in 15 – 22 hours of study outside of lessons per week as a minimum. Like any ‘job’ some weeks will require more or less of your time, but the principle remains, with the use of deliberate focussed practice being a key to success for those who excel.

You can expect engaging lessons taught by some of the very best teachers in Kent within a calm, productive, and caring environment. Our facilities are second-to-none with a study centre that comfortably accommodates over 100 post-16 students with the cafe-style servery; a popular feature. Our students recognise their responsibility to make appropriate decisions about how they maximise the time afforded to them outside of lessons.

Alongside their A Level study, students engage in a multitude of bespoke enrichment activities and support programmes. For example, students applying to Medical courses, Oxford or Cambridge University, or the USA access extensive personalised tutoring. We are one of Kent’s largest Duke of Edinburgh centres with many students completing the prestigious Gold Award each year. In addition, students can apply to undertake one of our many leadership opportunities with the School Prefect body or House system.

Life in our Sixth Form is as close as you will get to being on campus at a university, with many study locations and a vast array of extra-curricular activities such as Rugby, Hockey, Netball, Cricket, Drama, and Music Academy. In our Academies, students are provided coaching and guidance from internationally recognised staff whilst accessing superb resources such as the Astro-Turf pitch, swimming pool, fully equipped gym, and modern music and drama facilities.

Applying to us is not just an academic decision; it is a life decision, and we recognise our role within your journey.  We are proud to support all our students towards their dreams and aspirations whilst ensuring they leave The Math equally well-rounded, academically qualified, and highly employable.
