Brilliant Club Scholars

Brilliant Club Scholars

This superb super-curricular activity sees PhD tutors delivering The Scholars Programme in schools and colleges, and it has been in operation since 2011.  The tutors share their subject knowledge and passion for learning with small groups of students in the Sixth Form at Mark Rutherford School, to help them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to secure a place at a competitive university. 

The programme is structured around seven tutorials, and students also attend a Graduation Event at a partner university to speak with current undergraduates and learn about university life. Each Scholars Programme placement is for 14 pupils, who are taught in two groups of seven. They work towards completing a challenging final assignment which is marked and moderated using university grades.
