Today sees the pilot launch of Oxford Unbounded, our free online mentoring programme to help students achieve top grades at Maths GCSE/National 5s. Teachers at selected schools across the UK, with a high proportion of students from backgrounds underrepresented at Oxford, have been invited to nominate students in Year 10 (or equivalent).
Oxford mentors, ten this year, all Oxford Mathematics undergraduates, will tutor groups of 4–5 students on a weekly basis during the summer between Y10 and Y11 (or equivalent) and then continue to provide support during Y11. Students will also be invited to a three-day revision residential at the Mathematical Institute and Lincoln College, Oxford during the April before their exams. For 2026-27 over 120 schools applied and 14 schools were selected. Each school then nominated four eligible students giving a total of 56 students enrolled on the programme.
The full programme will start in 27/28, and aims to enrol around 300 students.
