Black Box Recorder made three albums in the late 1990s and early 2000s and then went off 'do other things'. Then social media got interested when Billie Eilish posted videos of herself listening to their first song, 'Child Psychology'. So Black Box have decided to reform. Smart move.

This song captures their deadbeat feel. Their Greatest Hits album was called 'the Worst of Black Box Recorder'. You get the picture.

We're always looking to improve the way things work in the Maths Institute for our students. This term, we've received some very useful student feedback, and have managed to implement some changes to be made going forward, to make your experience here as worthwhile and enjoyable as possible. 

We'll be sending round an end-of-term email with a full list of changes implemented as a result of your feedback, but for now, here's just one example below of a change we've made!
