Wider Learning Week provides enriching learning experiences in familiar and new contexts. The activities designed will challenge students, promote wider understanding, and develop independence. To get a sense of what the week’s about, check out tweets from 2018 and 2019.
In 2022-23, it will take place from Monday 10 – Friday 14 July 2023. We have not been able to do WLW for three years because of the Covid pandemic, so we are excited for the 2023 week of activities. See more details in the other tabs.
