About our Masterclasses
If your child is naturally curious and loves to learn, our Masterclasses will be a perfect match for them!
We bring together like-minded able children to explore subjects such as Philosophy, Spanish, History, English, Mathematics and the Sciences in a fun yet thought-provoking way. The sessions are highly interactive, cover areas beyond the National Curriculum and give the children the chance to meet and work with others from a wide range of schools.
Sessions take place on Saturday mornings, over four or six weeks. Additionally, we offer two evening Science events which are 90-minute live demonstrations, with plenty of audience participation and lots of fun!
Many of our Masterclass pupils have found the whole experience to be a huge confidence booster plus excellent preparation for their moves to secondary school.
Saturday Masterclasses
Our Saturday Masterclasses are for Year 5 children (Year 6 in the Autumn Term) who have a genuine interest and ability in their subjects.
Our next courses will be in Autumn Term 2023 for 2023-24 Year 6 children, and we have written to the headteachers of participating primary schools to ask them to nominate suitable children. The deadline for applications has now passed. We will be writing to the parents of applicants by the evening of Wednesday 28th June with news of the allocation of places.

There is no charge for our Masterclasses. Each Saturday Masterclass session is independent of the others, but we expect children to commit to taking a complete series of classes.
Children may participate in only one Saturday course per term. Please note that, while we welcome all applications, those from children who have already attended a Saturday Masterclass will be given a lower priority for any further Saturday courses.
Evening Masterclasses
Our evening Masterclasses are back with a bang - literally!
The next one will be Physics on Thursday 6 July 2023. We have written to headteachers of participating schools with details of how to obtain tickets. Find out more about this Masterclass by clicking on the box:
