Outreach Activities. To complement our bursaries and scholarship scheme we will continue to deliver and introduce new activities designed to maintain and enhance recruitment of students currently underrepresented. The new activities have been designed to provide steady, incremental growth in our outreach work, building on our previous wide experience. The following activities will be funded from additional fees income: Lancaster University Volunteer Unit (LUVU) Schools Partnership (£46,000): a community outreach programme delivered in partnership with 18 primary and 9 secondary schools in the Lancaster, Morecambe, Blackpool and surrounding areas for approximately 2000 pupils from low socio-economic and low participation areas. Activity will build on initiatives from 2006/07: Campus-based curriculum days for year 10 students Supporting 6th form students with leadership training and helping them create and run social businesses. Additional match funding from the charity ”v” has expanded the scope of this work. Significant student placement in WP schools to assist with basic skills Creation of University credit bearing activity for students to provide subject expertise to needy schools. Students develop teaching resources for projects and lead specialist teaching sessions Developments will include expansion of the University credit bearing scheme to other subject areas and planned expansion of the social business activity in partnership with Burnley Football Club which will target “difficult to reach” young people. In general the activity will provide access to university staff, students, resources and facilities, promote higher education and active citizenship, enhance confidence, increase pupil and teacher awareness and knowledge of higher education, and provide voluntary work opportunities for over 100 Lancaster undergraduates to enhance their employability. The activity will extend the existing portfolio of LUVU community based activities, complement Aimhigher activities and respond to an identified need discussed with local schools. Masterclasses and Saturday Schools (£60,000): a curriculum enhancement activity for pupils in years 11 - 13 designed to enrich their school and further education curricula, promote progression to higher education and raise awareness of higher educational opportunities at Lancaster and elsewhere. The 06/07 target of 300 pupils from low socio-economic groups and low participation areas was comfortably exceeded and the plan in future years is to at ...
Outreach Activities. Edge Hill already operates a high level of outreach activities to support our Widening Participation Strategy. We offer a full menu of outreach activities covering HE Experience Days, Study Skills and Revision workshops, Preparation for HE (including student life and finance awareness), Parents events, Access programmes and staff development for Connexions staff and school careers teachers/advisors. Our current spend on these activities is in excess of £500,000 per annum. In addition to this commitment, Edge Hill invests more than 10% of the new income generated from variable fees to enhance our Widening Participation work through aspiration-raising activities and targeted post entry support. In further developing our outreach strategy, new income has allowed us to target our activities much more specifically towards awareness-raising amongst those who have a strong influencing impact on learners who may not previously have considered higher education as an option. In particular, we look to reach out to parents, minority ethnic and other community groups and advisory services such as Connexions. We are committed to the following new work and will review our position in relation to further projects annually in the light of actual income received. Many of these projects commenced in 2005 requiring an up-front spend in advance of income receipt. 5 The University may increase the number and variety of scholarships available under this scheme 6 The University may increase the number and variety of scholarships available under this scheme We are currently actively involved in 2 sub-regional Aimhigher Projects (Greater Merseyside and Lancashire) providing a range of aspiration and attainment raising activities from Years 8 –13 plus development of progression routes for mature, part-time and WBL students. Aspiration-raising Edge Hill believes that aspiration-raising and attainment is the single most important factor in lifting the number of students from disadvantaged and low- income families entering higher education. We already work closely with local schools and colleges and the advisory services to identify potential and encourage participation. In addition to our current work we aim to: ▪ Develop and deliver a structured aspiration and awareness raising programme for Care Leavers, to include carers and Social Services Professionals. ▪ Provide subject-based sessions/master-classes at selected schools/colleges delivered by Edge Hill academic staff from all disc...
Outreach Activities. In 2012/13, the University will expand its programme of well-targeted and high quality outreach activities to which it committed in the 2008 access agreement, with a focus on enhancing applications to Durham University from a specific range of backgrounds. The University recognises that the activities play a broader role in extending educational opportunities to those from non-traditional backgrounds but the specific target is to promote fair access to Durham by increasing applications from students from state schools or colleges and NS-SEC 4-7 backgrounds who do not traditionally apply to Durham. The feedback from participants has shown that activities which work best in raising aspiration and attainment are those where there is direct engagement of students and teachers with the University: in particular summer schools, teacher conferences and the Supported Progression Compact Scheme with its series of residential events. Under the present agreement the University therefore intends to expand all of these activities. It will expand school liaison more broadly, but it will ensure that contact with schools is followed up by invitations to staff and students to engage in day-long and residential events at the University. The University is therefore increasing the volume and coverage of its most successful outreach programmes. The University will therefore continue to use additional tuition fee income to provide: a dedicated team of staff working specifically on realising the aims of the widening access plan, a compact scheme involving regular targeted contact with students from Year 10 onwards, dissemination of financial information to applicants and prospective applicants, residential summer schools, school and college visits, leadership for the Durham Excellence in Education Partnership, the expanded Foundation Centre programme, offering a direct progression route into Durham degrees for LPN, mature, and non-traditionally qualified students , conferences and events for teachers who support higher education progression. The Compact Scheme A priority will be placed on expansion of the Supported Progression Compact Scheme, which is a series of intensive activities focussed on the most able, least likely to apply, disadvantaged students from targeted areas. It is making a significant contribution towards increasing applications from state schooled students from NS-SEC categories 4-7 from a region that has one of the lowest HE participation rates in England. Im...
Outreach Activities. The institution currently engages in a range of activities funded through Aim Higher which is targeted at principally students in the 14-21 age range. The college also undertakes outreach activities within the local community through a range of outreach centres/community/drop in study centres. The primary activity is to engage more learners who come within widening participation categories.
Outreach Activities. Non-residential summer school In partnership with Aimhigher Sussex, the University will host a non-residential Summer Screen Event for approximately 70 Year 9 students from schools across the West Sussex Region. There will be opportunities for students to take part in drama, and dance activities as well as having access to the media technology available to produce a DVD of the event. Working with staff and students from the University the school students will experience first hand what its like to be a University student. Cross curricular event for local schools The University will host a cross curricular activity for approximately 100 Year 7 pupils from 7 secondary schools in the local area. Some activities will take place in the schools facilitated by student ambassadors but the final showcase event will take place at the University. Mature Student Welcome Event Building on the successful pilot held in September 2007 attended by 30 new mature students, the University will host a Mature Student Welcome Day in September 2008 shortly before the start of their first year undergraduate programme. This event will provide the students with an opportunity to meet with other students and be reminded and reassured of the academic, pastoral and financial support available to all students. Feedback from this year‟s pilot suggests that students feel more confident about starting their course having met with other mature students in an informal yet informative event. One of the outcomes of this event was that those students attending expressed a wish for a follow up activity to be held possibly after Christmas. This will be more of a social event open to all Mature Students and will provide an opportunity to pick up any concerns the students have, thereby act as a retention aid Aspiration raising and HE awareness activities Following the completion of a mapping exercise, the Widening Participation staff working in collaboration University‟s Widening Participation Liaison Group (formed in 2007), the Schools Liaison Team and Aimhigher Sussex will identify non-Aimhigher schools in areas of low participation in HE (LPNs) and NS-SEC classes 4,5 6 and 7. The main geographical focus will fall within the coastal strip and within the University‟s „region‟. Campus visits and Taster sessions will be offered to these schools as well as visits into schools by WP staff and especially recruited and trained Student Ambassadors. A booklet give a Menu of activities will be produced by ...

Outreach Activities. The consistent commitment of TVU to reach people from communities under- represented in higher education has enabled the University to embed widening participation work across subject areas. As the lead institution for the Aimhigher partnership in West London and the West London Lifelong Learning Network (WL LLN), the University has brought together over 30 schools, sixth forms, FE colleges, HE institutions, Local Authorities and other agencies across West London. Working with these Aimhigher partners, TVU continues to build on work with local schools and colleges to offer students, from Year 9 through to advanced level study, a range of tasters, workshops, masterclasses, progression days, visits and summer schools all developed to link directly to aims and objectives within the vocational GCSE and advanced level curricula. Leadership of the WL LLN and involvement, often as the consortia lead, in developments related to the 14 – 19 curriculum has sharpened TVU’s particular focus on activities increasing the number of vocational learners progressing to and through HE. The University is working with partners in West London and Berkshire to support the delivery and progression routes related to the new diplomas. This includes development of Foundation Degree programmes with clear articulation and extension of diploma lines. In the light of the findings of the Xxxxxx Review (2007), the University, through its OFFA Policy, Progress and Monitoring Group (OPPMG), decided to review the effectiveness, value for money, and focus of outreach activity organised and delivered through its Access Agreement outreach action plan. From 2008/09, with discussions and arrangements taking place with partners during the previous year, TVU will introduce four new outreach initiatives to articulate links between higher level study and work and target those under-represented in higher education including, in particular, people from low income backgrounds. In short, these initiatives are: • A mentoring programme for Further Education (FE) students receiving the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) to support transition. • Delivery of financial capability support for FE students, • An outreach pilot, Experience Counts, working with employers, to reach those without experience of higher level study to translate work experience/learning into educational credit linked to the University’s Negotiated Award scheme. • Targeted outreach, through the Extended Employability programme, working...
