Creative Forces Day

For students from armed forces families, Creative Forces Day is a chance to explore university life and their identity as a service child.

What do students experience?

Meeting pupils from similar backgrounds, they'll take an exciting glimpse into the future, looking at pathways and the support available.

Across an action-packed day, which includes a tour around our city campus, taster workshops and interactive group sessions, they'll co-produce a pledge to make a difference for service children in their school community.

Is Creative Forces Day just for students?

Creative Forces Day is also for you. As a practitioner supporting service children and families, you'll explore a CPD session delivered by support experts, and network with other professionals in the field. You'll also co-produce a pledge with your students to make a difference for Service children in their school community.

Help shape the future

Creative Forces is part of the national evaluation programme led by the Service Children’s Progression Alliance. The evaluation gathers insights from primary and secondary school children during their visits, particularly looking at their knowledge of and attitudes towards higher education.
