Cambridge University STEP Easter School

STEP students

The Cambridge STEP programme is designed to support young people from state schools who have received a conditional offer to read mathematics at the university.  The programme provides students with focussed help in passing the Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP) – a standard requirement for entry to the Cambridge Maths Tripos, but a particular obstacle for students from schools which do not offer Further Maths A level or intensive maths support.

The four-day Easter school reaches 70 state school students each year and has led to substantial improvements in the pass rate – and thus the take up of places to read maths at Cambridge by sixth-formers from less affluent homes.
