Brilliant Club Launch Event

We were delighted to take 14 of our Year 9 pupils to the launch for this year’s Brilliant Club Scholars Programme. The Brilliant Club aims to raise the aspirations of pupils from state schools to consider applying for top universities in the UK so we were fortunate that pupils could visit Brasenose College, University of Oxford.

The day was hosted by the Brilliant Club and pupils were given a brief talk about university life before going on their guided and extensive tour of Brasenose College. Current students from the college showed many parts of the college and explained how Oxford University operates; they saw student accommodation, leisure facilities available and the social opportunities open to students. The pupils were also shown around the centre of Oxford including the famous Radcliffe Camera, part of the Bodleain library where some of the Harry Potter movies were filmed.

We are once again, incredibly excited about the programme and fully expect to build on the success of the last three years with all pupils completing the final assignment and successfully passing the course.
