Applications for September 2027 Year 12 entry will open on Monday 12 October 2026 and will close on Sunday 20 December 2026 at 23:59. We will invite applicants to an Admissions Assessment on 6, 9 or 10 February 2027. As part of your Assessment, you will have two one-to-one discussions:

• First, a mathematical interview with a teacher from LMaS, in which you will work through a series of problem-solving questions. These won’t be familiar to you, but don’t worry about, we will teach you something new and see how you pick up and build on the idea.
• Then, a wider discussion with another member of LMaStaff, which develops out of your responses on your application form. The LMaS adult will also confirm the factual information on your application form.

You will also take a Mathematics Aptitude Assessment. This is a 60-minute, non-calculator written assessment. Any Exam Access Arrangements (e.g. for extra time in written exams, or for a smaller room) will provided. The MAA does not require special or additional preparation. The content of the questions is GCSE Higher Tier mathematics, but the questions are less structured and require more independent thinking than most GCSE questions do. The questions assess your problem-solving skills and mathematical reasoning by asking you to apply familiar knowledge and techniques to unfamiliar and non-standard situations.

On the day you will also get to meet and talk to some current LMaStudents, and hear from them about why they chose LMaS and why they’re so pleased they did.
