The National Mathematics and Science College

Coventry, Coventry, West Midlands · CV4 8JB

The clue is in the name at The National Mathematics and Science College, a small independent school in Coventry built around the STEM disciplines. Founded in 2011 and led by Principal Dr Andy Kemp, it is unusual in its focus: of its 157 pupils, 125 are in the sixth form, and the curriculum is shaped firmly around mathematics and the sciences. Boarding is offered alongside day places, and a pupil-to-teacher ratio of around eight means small, closely taught classes. The college suits academically driven students who already know their interests lie in mathematics, the sciences or related fields.
