Primary Age Outreach

This Working Group is organised by the University of Brighton, University of West London and Lancaster University.

The purpose of the NEON primary school working group is to bring together educators, administrators, and practitioners to collaboratively address opportunities to support primary education and their learning journey into higher education.

This working group aims to develop and share best practices, share resources, and potentially co-create initiatives that enhance the educational experience for primary school pupils and their attitudes to higher education.

The working group may also focus on building partnerships with parents, communities, and external organizations to support the holistic development of children in primary schools.

Please join us and help to build this network. If you have any queries about this working group contact NEON at neon@uwl.ac.uk.
