Taster Days

Now available to book for Year 11 students who are considering applying to EMS for A-level study from September 2024.

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.
