London Metropolitan University: National Saturday Club
London Metropolitan University is running two National Saturday Club programmes, one focusing on Art and Design and another on Writing and Talking. The Clubs give young people in years 8-11 the opportunity to study on Saturday mornings at their local university, as well as visit top arts venues and present their work in a national exhibition. Last year over 1,250 students took part.
