About us and our vision

Welcome to School Events: Maths, Music & 11+ International Online Competitions & Books

Based in the UK, School Events is proud to support children both locally and across the globe as they develop a passion for mathematics, music, and 11+ problem-solving through our engaging online competitions and educational e-books.

What began as a simple idea grew rapidly thanks to encouraging feedback from parents and students. Today, we offer a dynamic platform where young learners can participate in interactive competitions and access our comprehensive e-book library. We design all of our resources to be structured, enjoyable, and accessible to every student.

Our passionate team is dedicated to inspiring learners of all ages and abilities. School Events e-books help students build confidence at every stage of their academic journey. They are available for standalone purchase worldwide, with no competition entry required.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that learning should be accessible, enjoyable, and empowering. Guided by our motto, Docendo Discimus ("By teaching, we learn"), School Events is here to support your child’s growth every step of the way. Let your adventure begin with School Events!

A Warm to School Events from -
Tim Bedford B.Mus (Hons), RAM, M.A

'I am delighted to welcome you to School Events and to share a little about the work I lead across our maths and music projects. Inspiring every learner’s confidence has always been at the heart of my teaching, and I am thrilled to bring that passion to the exciting competitions we offer.

Through our individual maths and music challenges, pupils have the opportunity to strengthen their learning year after year. Every paper is designed to hopefully, spark curiosity, and encourage ongoing improvement in whichever field they choose to explore'.

My Maths & Music Experience

'As a senior advisor guiding School Events into 2027 and beyond, I enjoy blending curriculum learning with imaginative mathematical ideas. I’m a quantum enthusiast and have long been inspired by 60 Symbols and Tom Rocks Maths, whom I’ve previously had the pleasure of working with'.

'Alongside my love of mathematics, I am a classically trained commercial composer from the Royal Academy of Music, where I studied under Professor Nick Ingman. My career has taken me from creating music for over 100 television programmes to composing iconic adverts for brands such as Duracell and Persil. I’ve also had the privilege of performing with Sir Elton John and for Princess Diana'.

'My interest in maths has always been strong and linked to my musical work from sound design and frequency analysis to exploring the behaviour of waves. These studies formed the foundation of my Master’s Degree in Music Technology at The University of Bangor, North Wales'.

Looking Ahead

'I am truly excited to be part of School Events and to contribute my experience, creativity, and enthusiasm to our maths and music projects in the years ahead. I look forward to supporting pupils, parents, and schools as we continue to celebrate learning, achievement, and enjoyment!'
