Oxford University launches school engagement guide for county
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 16:32 · Archive
Oxford University has launched a guide to help Oxfordshire schoolchildren access university opportunities and resources.
Oxford University has launched a dedicated engagement guide for schools in Oxfordshire designed to highlight educational and enrichment activities available to pupils across the county. The guide, titled Opening Oxford, was unveiled at an event hosted by Vice-Chancellor Professor Irene Tracey and attended by teachers, headteachers and community partners.
The guide includes information on curriculum-linked workshops, lectures, events and enrichment schemes for pupils from primary through to further education. It is part of the university's broader efforts to improve engagement with local schools and widen access to its resources.
Professor Alex Betts, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for External Engagement, Sport and Community, said the university's departments and colleges had long provided initiatives targeting schools but these opportunities were not always visible or transparent to teachers. He said the guide was designed to close that gap and ensure young people across Oxfordshire could see opportunities at the university regardless of background, aspiration or attainment.
