Plenty of evidence is emerging that our events are having a long term impact on schools. Here are just a few of the comments received when teachers have had a few months to reflect on Maths Inspiration events:

"All students enjoyed the event, and the impressive thing was the enthusiasm of students who were reluctant to come beforehand. It re-engaged them with maths and encouraged further discussion in lessons."

"A year on, the students still remember the lectures. It was very useful for those with university interviews - it really gave them something 'interesting' to talk about."

"Last year's event was successful. There may be a number of factors, but record numbers from our school have applied to study maths at university this year, including three Oxbridge applicants."

"A year on, the students still remember the lectures. It was very useful for those with university interviews - it really gave them something 'interesting' to talk about."
