Forward Thinking Programme
Students Visit Birmingham University
On Monday 19th June, six Year 8 students, who have been selected as participants in the University of Birmingham’s Forward Thinking programme, visited the university for the first of what will be a series of visits over the next four years designed to give them an insight into the benefits offered by a university education.
Alongside other Birmingham Year 8 students they enjoyed a series of tasks, which included building towers out of spaghetti and marshmallows. This was followed by a tour of the campus. Joined later by their parents and carers, they were treated to a buffet meal and a fantastic inspirational talk. Suitably motivated, they are looking forward to the subject taster day at the university later this year.
