It was established in 1673 by King Charles ll and went on to be shaped by some of the world’s foremost intellectuals, including Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Christopher Wren. The vast painting by Antonio Verrio hanging in the school’s Dining Hall commemorates the founding of the department.The school has just marked the 350th anniversary of the founding of the RMS with a programme of events, including lectures from celebrated intellectuals and explorers as well establishing the Lord Mayor’s Royal Mathematical School Scholarship Programme.The early aim of the RMS was to train children as mathematicians, astronomers and navigators. It was hoped that this would address the late 17th century need for a stronger maritime presence. Today it is a vital part of the transformational education that Christ’s Hospital provides for its students, developing critical and analytical thinkers who are prepared to challenge themselves and, upon leaving the school, the world beyond its boundaries. As the area of digital and data education progresses, it is expected that the Head of the RMS will be central to this development.Mathematics is a key subject in the curriculum at CH. Students follow a foundation mathematics course in 2nd and 3rd form (Year 7 and 8) and from Little Erasmus (Year 9) and thereafter all students are taught the Higher Edexcel IGCSE course. This provides a good platform for A Level and beyond. Maths groups are set by ability from the Second Form (Year 7) to Greater Erasmus (Year 11). Class sizes average 22 in all compulsory mathematics sets, allowing for smaller groups to cater for the less able mathematicians.The current A Level course is the Edexcel
