Yesterday’s inclement weather did not spoil the enjoyment of a hardworking group of 24 Year 10 students who journeyed by coach to Royal Holloway University in Surrey for their Scholars Programme (Brilliant Club) Graduation.  

For the past term, they have the unique opportunity to experience university-style tutorials with PhD students to help them make an informed decision as to whether attending a top University is for them.

Studying either the STEM course that focussed on Biology  entitled ‘Eye Spy’ or the Humanities Social Psychology Course that was called ‘Us v Them’, the students had to dedicate a lot of their time to homework tasks and a final assignment marked to University standard to a set deadline.

All 24 students wholeheartedly and successfully embraced the challenge and  25% of the cohort obtained the equivalent of a First Class Degree.

Their dedication was rewarded with a fitting occasion of the Graduation in an inspiring  location.  

Well done students!
