Pre-16
Our team deliver a range of events, activities and information sessions for secondary school (Key stages 3 - 4) students. These sessions can be delivered in school or virtually (live or recorded).
We also offer a range of campus visits where students are able to visit us at the University of Leicester. We work with selected schools across the UK providing pre-16 outreach. New for this year, we have a dedicated member of the Outreach team that can work with you to best support your students. If you’d like to get in touch to discuss support, book an activity, or have another query, please email schools@le.ac.uk.
Our Core Outreach Offering
Our core Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) offering has been designed to meet the needs of young people across the region and enable as many young people as possible to have an encounter with a higher education provider through their educational journey. This supports schools with meeting Gatsby Benchmark 7.
