DESCRIPTION

The Brilliant Club is a non-profit organisation that exists to increase the number of pupils from underrepresented backgrounds progressing to highly-selective universities. In pursuit of our mission, The Brilliant Club runs two core programmes; The Scholars Programme and Researchers in Schools. The Scholars Programme recruits, trains and places doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in schools to deliver programmes of university-style tutorials, which are supplemented by two university trips. Researchers in Schools recruits PhD graduates, places them as trainee teachers in schools and supports them to develop as excellent teachers and research leaders committed to closing the gap in attainment and university access. The Brilliant Club recently released its new five-year strategy, The Path to Outcomes, which will see us enroll over 40,000 pupils on our programmes with the aim that 6,500 of those will go on to secure places at highly-selective universities.
