About the Programme

Our goal is to help schools inspire the scientists, artists and teachers of tomorrow as well as provide teachers with the hook that will spark their pupils’ curiosity. We want to give pupils the confidence to explore new subjects and discuss their ideas. We offer in-school modules and campus visits led by our friendly Warwick students.

We're pleased to share a summary of activities from the 2024-25 academic year. Click on the link below to read about some of our highlights:

We allocate our provision for schools according to our Widening Participation indicators, with priority given to schools which meet the following benchmarks:

          If you would like our staff to come and visit your school to deliver an assembly or a workshop, please email brightstars@warwick.ac.uk indicating the subjects/topics you are interested in, the possible dates and times, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
