Brilliant Student Slava Publishes Article
Slava Bragina, our talented Year 10 student, had her article selected for publication in The Brilliant Club's prestigious annual youth academic journal, The Scholar. Slava’s thought provoking article is titled ‘Could bacteria and their enzymes be a viable option to tackle the plastic waste crisis?’ and was published in the Autumn issue 2023/24.
The Scholars Programme, run by The Brilliant Club, is a programme designed to support students to develop skills and knowledge to make ambitious and successful applications to universities, should that be what they decide they want to do. At the same time, students develop great academic skills, such as developing their written and verbal communication, critical thinking and metacognition, to support their schoolwork day to day.
The Scholar stands as a beacon of recognition for exceptional academic work by students across the UK, providing a platform to showcase their intellectual prowess. Slava's accomplishment underscores her dedication to scholarly pursuits and commitment to academic achievement.
Competition for entry to The Scholar was high, with many excellent assignments to choose from and all articles were reviewed by an expert panel of PhD tutors before being selected for publication, so a huge congratulations to Slava on her accomplishment.
