Additional Information This report from the Mathematics Pipeline Project (2021-23) presents a system-level overview of the mathematics pipeline in England for all young people in schools from age 4 to 16 and, thereafter, a diminishing number of students who proceed to study mathematics at A level, undergraduate and postgraduate level. The project was particularly interested in those students who have the potential to remain in the mathematics pipeline into advanced and higher education, what is termed the excellence stream in the report.

The goal of the project was to better understand and visualise the whole pipeline and to identify areas where well-designed interventions might help to improve flow and diversity within the excellence stream. Whilst systemic change offers the potential for greatest impact, that was beyond the remit of the project. Rather, the report offers insights and ideas to individuals and organisations that might be interested in developing, or investing in, targeted interventions to improve the mathematics excellence stream in England.

The project team is grateful for the support of XTX Markets for funding this research. The views expressed within are wholly those of the authors and not necessarily those of the funder. The engagement of sector stakeholders, and the generous feedback from reviewers of earlier versions of this report, is also much appreciated.
