Specialist School in Mathematics and Physics

That is the experience of programmes network of affiliated schools, specialist and non-specialist alike.

Specialist schools have a special focus on those subjects relating to their chosen specialism but must also meet the National Curriculum requirements and deliver a broad and balanced education to all pupils.
