meet the high bar that has been set for working to increase the admission of pupils
from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p><p>The Department is committed to opening more
university-sponsered maths schools, building on the success of King’s College London
Mathematics School and the Exeter Mathematics School, to help prepare more of the
most mathematically able students to succeed in maths disciplines at top universities
and pursue mathematically intensive careers.</p><p>The Department currently has no
plans to formally respond to this paper.</p>
