Notable alumni
Every school on this site opened in 2014 at the earliest, so this page is short and will stay that way for a while — that's a feature of being honest, not a bug.
We do not treat "got into Oxbridge" or a strong exam result as notability — that's routine destinations data about young people, already covered on each school's own page and in our research section, and republishing named individuals' academic records here just to pad a page would be a real overreach for people who aren't public figures. An entry on this page needs one of: an independently documented public competition record (International Mathematical Olympiad, EGMO, BMO and similar — these are public results, like a sports league table, not private school data), genuine independent press coverage of them as an adult, or a substantial published profile of them returning to the school in a public role. See our methodology.

Nandini Shiralkar
Independent press coverageKing's College London Mathematics School, Class of 2020. During an Engineering degree at Trinity College, Cambridge, founded the Cambridge Existential Risks Initiative and went on to found the Existential Risk Alliance (ERA) Cambridge Fellowship, raising over £2.5m in philanthropic funding since 2021 as its Executive/Founder-Director. Won the University of Cambridge Vice-Chancellor's Social Impact Award for 2021/22.
We also specifically checked Liverpool Maths School and LUSoM and found no one who currently clears the bar above — that's expected given how young those schools are, not a gap in our research. The other schools on this site are too new for us to have looked yet; their oldest leavers are still in their early twenties at most, several have no leavers at all, and durable public notability takes most people longer than that to accumulate. We'll add entries as, and if, they exist, rather than lower the bar to fill space.
