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 allocate our provision for schools according to our Widening Participation indicators, with priority given to schools which meet the following benchmarks:
    • Over 30% of students claiming Free School Meals
      • Over 20% of POLAR 4 Quintile 1 Students
        • Over 40% of IMD Quintile 1-2 students (Index of Multiple Deprivation)
          • Less than 70% of students reaching expected standards in reading, writing and maths at the end of KS2
          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.
          We have many self-guided tours for teachers to do of our campus. You can find them all here. If you are interested in an organised visit to campus, please contact us and, subject to availability, we can make arrangements.
