695th Lord Mayor’s Royal Mathematical School Scholarship programme

695th Lord Mayor’s Royal Mathematical School Scholarship programme

To mark the 350th Anniversary of the Royal Mathematical School (RMS), a new RMS Scholarship programme is being introduced in partnership with the Lord Mayor of London, Professor Michael Mainelli.

The RMS is the embodiment of the CH mission. Established by King Charles II in 1673 to prepare students with the skills to navigate the world, 350 years later, the spirit of the RMS continues to inspire students for future success. While the 350th anniversary marks the notable history of the RMS, it also provides an opportunity to create a lasting legacy. We are excited to launch the Lord Mayor’s RMS Scholarship programme to further increase social mobility and provide the next generation with the skills to navigate and make an impact on the world.

The Lord Mayor’s RMS Scholarship programme will enable young people from less advantaged backgrounds to have a transformative educational experience at Christ’s Hospital and equip them to navigate an increasingly complex world.

The Scholarships will run in perpetuity, providing a fitting legacy for the RMS and a way for sponsors to have a lasting impact on social mobility for generations to come.

The history behind the RMS legacy

With an incredible journey of exploration that started over 350 years ago in 1673 the Royal Mathematical School (RMS) at Christ’s Hospital has been transforming the lives of its students for generations.

The RMS was established at Christ’s Hospital in 1673 by King Charles ll and went on to be shaped by some of the world’s foremost intellectuals, including Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Christopher Wren. The determination back then was to train children as mathematicians and navigators. It was hoped that this would address the late 17th century need for a stronger maritime presence.
