The UK’s first specialist maths school for exceptional mathematicians aged 11-18. Many schools achieve excellent maths results, guiding students to achieve high grades in GCSEs and A-levels, and secure places at university. At that point, students begin to see themselves as mathematicians.
At 1729 Maths School, we start much earlier. From age 11, our students are encouraged to think, question and create like mathematicians. Maths here is not just an exam subject, it is a living landscape of ideas, patterns and connections that we support students to explore, far beyond the limits of a standard curriculum.


We are committed to supporting the most promising young mathematicians on a meritocratic basis, therefore our admissions are selective and need-blind. Bursaries can be hard to access at some schools but if 1729 Maths School is right for your child, we will work with you to ensure that fees do not stand in their way.
Up to £2.4 million is available each year to fund full and partial bursaries for a wide range of income levels. Bursaries will be awarded to students following an assessment of the need of a student and their family. Once a bursary has been awarded, the funding is committed for every year that the student remains at 1729.
Our ability to fund this bursary programme has been enabled by a major philanthropic donation from Alex and Elena Gerko, which covers the cost of developing the school and all available bursaries for students.
Founded in 1807, Mill Hill School has a longstanding tradition of excellence and innovation, attracting families from across the UK and globally. Recent academic results and ISI inspections show that Mill Hill is an outstanding school, which leads the independent sector in many areas. If your child is aiming for top grades in any subject, they will be able to achieve this at Mill Hill.
1729 Maths School will share this ethos, fostering an environment in which every individual feels valued and empowered to achieve excellence in their chosen path, and a culture that parents can trust to prioritise their child’s happiness and personal growth.
1729 students will benefit from Belmont Prep and Mill Hill’s unique “London in the countryside” setting, with 120 acres of beautiful grounds providing an inspiring backdrop for learning. The school is 10 miles from Central London, with easy access to the underground, mainline stations and bus routes.
