Your students will feel more confident, understand more about university, and will have developed their speaking and listening skills. Future Stars Year 7 happens in four parts:
In-school pre-workshop
A presentation and activity workbook that will bring university to life.
Activity workbook
Students will complete their very own workbook, which will introduce them to some inspiring student role models from the local area. Between that and quizzes about future choices, videos and interactive activities, it’s all super engaging. Their workbook can be used before, during and after their campus visit.
Campus visit
A fun-filled day on campus that includes a campus tour, a look inside real student accommodation, a university workshop, a hands-on activity at the Sainsbury Centre, talks about the clubs and societies you can get involved with at university, and subject-specific workshops…all whilst meeting current university students. Phew. What a great day!
In-school celebration ceremony
A chance for your students to celebrate their university experience. They’ll get their very own certificate and medal to wear with pride.
When will the campus visit take place?
There will be several dates to choose from, though the final dates are currently TBC.
Future Stars Year 7 campus visits usually take place in spring term.
Who should sign up for places?
Teachers can book multiple places at once. Future Stars Year 7 bookings happen alongside other pre-16 activities via our on-campus booking form.
We’ll be in touch when the 2025-26 booking form opens – you’ll have the opportunity to rank activities you’d like to attend.
Are all activities compulsory?
