At Leicester High School for Girls, mathematics holds a special significance, as it not only develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also paves the way for opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. We take pride in nurturing a strong interest in STEM subjects among our students, with a significant number - one-third of our girls - expressing a desire to pursue Further Maths at A-level.
