Here at OLSB we are pleased to work with The Scholars Programme -The Brillaint Club,

PhD tutors deliver The Scholars Programme here at OLSB and in schools and colleges across the UK since 2011.

They share their subject knowledge and passion for learning with small groups of pupils aged 8-18. It helps them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to secure a place at a competitive university. Research using data from the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT) has shown that The Scholars Programme also has a positive impact on GCSE attainment. Students who did The Scholars Programme in Year 8, 9 or 10 were more likely to achieve a 9-5 in maths and English than students who scored similarly at Key Stage 2 within their schools.

It 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. The children work towards completing a challenging final assignment which is marked and moderated using university grades.
