Abstract

The Brilliant Club is an award-winning charity that exists to increase the number of pupils from under-represented background progressing to highly-selective universities. They do this by mobilizing the PhD community to share its academic expertise with state schools. Helen Parker and Adeel Shafi were chosen to be the first PhD researchers to pilot The Brilliant Club in Scotland, at Holyrood and Hyndland Secondary Schools.
