Lancaster University School of Mathematics

Lancaster University School of Mathematics, also known as LUSoM, is a maths school located in Preston, Lancashire, England. As a maths school, it is a specialist mathematics free school sixth form college.

The school was set up by the Rigby Education Trust, a single-academy trust set up in partnership between the Lancaster University and Cardinal Newman College for the purpose of opening and operating the school. It opened to students in September 2022 and is located in a £8.5 million school building on London Road, Preston, and is the first purpose-built specialist Maths School in the UK.
