Primary School Outreach

The Widening Participation & Outreach team can offer in-person activities with local Primary School students, most typically in Year 6. The boroughs we most often work with are Hounslow, Ealing and Hillingdon.
There are many benefits to speaking with Primary School students and parents/ carers about future education and career options. Interaction with a university can help young students understand the huge range of courses and careers potentially open to them.

Activities delivered in school or on a campus visit  to St Mary's could include: 

  • Introduction to University workshop (think-pair-share activities; workbook activity)
  • Q&A with current St Mary's University students and 'Design a University Mascot' workshop
  • If on campus, a tour with a 'treasure hunt' theme

To express interest in an activity or visit, please contact schools.colleges@stmarys.ac.uk or call 020 8240 4247. 

We have several online activities available for Primary School students taking part in the Ealing Children's University programme. Take a look!
