Broadford University is a 10 week programme that runs in the Spring term. The idea is to:
- expose pupils to subjects and activities they would not normally experience
- give them the chance to broaden their vocabulary with subject specific terms (meta language)
- develop an idea to a greater depth - as there are 10 hours given to each course
- allow pupils to work on a subject/course of their choosing
- give pupils the chance to work with children beyond their Year Group
- encourage pupils, at the earliest possible point, to consider further education as a possible root to a future career
This year has been a huge success:
- 100% (87% of pupils strongly) agree that they have enjoyed the courses
- 73% agree that they would now consider a career linked to their course
I loved being part of the Broadford band. We've learnt how to play different instruments and how to read sheet music. At the start of it I didn't think I'd be able to perform in the finale, but it has shown me I can.
