Taster Days

We will hold a series of Taster Days for Year 11 students who are considering applying to EMS for A-level study from September 2025. Click here to join our admissions mailing list and we will notify you when places are available to book.

If you love Maths and you think EMS may be for you, we strongly recommend you sample what we have to offer at one of our Taster Days.

This event is aimed at Year 11 students, giving you to a chance to meet staff and students and immerse yourself in the fun but demanding Maths, Physics and Computing challenges we are into here.

Meet the EMS staff and students, take part in a series of workshops, have your questions answered.

Taster Days with EMS – Autumn Term 2024 (for September 2025 Entry)

We will be running a number of Taster Days in the autumn term. Please check the box to the right for dates and a link to our booking form.

Taster Days are the only way to get a true feel of the unique, informal atmosphere at Exeter Maths School. We start the day with a presentation from our Head, Kerry Burnham, before the students break off into groups to experience lessons in Maths, Physics and Computer Science. Parents are welcome to join in the Head’s presentation and Q&A session. We will also run a separate information session for those interested in EMS residential accommodation.
