We are delighted that 12 of our amazing pupils have been chosen to take part in The Scholars Programme. The Scholars Programme aims to give children an experience of university learning to help them make an informed decision about their future. Throughout The Scholars Programme our pupils will take part in small group university-style tutorials delivered by a PhD tutor, teaching a topic based on their current research. The topic for this years cohort is stem cells and our pupils are already hooked!

The programme is structured around seven tutorials, and pupils also attend a Graduation Event at a partner university to speak with current undergraduates and learn about university life. Pupil's work towards completing a challenging final assignment which is marked and moderated using university grades.

Although university may not be for everyone, these pupils have been identified as having the potential to make a successful application to one of the UK’s most selective universities in the future.  Well done year 10!
