Schools and Colleges

Staffordshire University offers an extensive portfolio of activities and workshops to schools and colleges across the region that can be tailored to meet the needs of your audience, and can be delivered both virtually and at your institution. 

An important part of our work focuses on working with learners who are underrepresented within higher education, as defined by the Office for Students. We have developed a comprehensive programme of activities, particularly for those in Years 7-13. They are designed to raise awareness of the benefits of university and inspire your learners to think about their future. 

  • Targeted Outreach Activity: Our programme of activity is offered in selected schools and colleges across the region. Students taking part have access to activities and events to help them consider their future and how higher education can help them achieve their goals.  

  • Signposting: We provide impartial information, advice and guidance on the range of routes and pathways available into and through further and higher education to all audiences.  

  • CPD for Teachers and Advisors: We are committed to ensuring teachers and advisers have the information and skills they need to best support their students. Every child is unique, which is why we deliver a number of CPD activities, on a range of topics, during the academic year.  

  • Strategic Outreach: We are working hard to understand the needs of the region and where there may be gaps in higher education outreach activity and are working with key sector agencies and a range of strategic partners to fill these gaps with impactful and evidence-based initiatives.
