Outreach that works

Working together, we ensure target students can receive the right information at the right time. Our delivery is entirely impartial, and focusses on building soft-skills and knowledge of educational pathways through a programme of sustained interventions. From aspirational speakers to subject-tasters, career research to revision strategies – our activities provide individualised support when it matters most. Scroll through the list below to find out how we can enhance your school or college’s provision.

Eligibility

Students are identified as target and therefore eligible to work with us if they are medium to high attainers (i.e. able to attain 5 GCSEs A*- C or Grade 4+) and live in a postcode where HE participation is low. We utilise criteria outlined by the Office for Students (OfS), known as POLAR3 Q1 and Gaps Q1 & Q2. For more information on how we identify target students, please visit the OfS website.

To find out why we collect target student data, and how it informs the wider Uni Connect programme, please watch this short video.

Please note core offer availability is limited and bookings are selected on a fair case-by-case basis. To arrange a booking or find out more information please contact our team.
