Children’s University. The Children’s University is an out of hours school literacy programme originally set up by Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, to work with Hull primary school pupils, aged 7-11. University funding provides support, mentor tutoring and accreditation. It also enables increasing numbers of volunteers from the University of Hull to become mentors in schools. In addition the University provides campus Taster Days for the children who participate in the project, enabling them to experience campus life and subjects. This has helped support the expansion of Children’s University into 3 secondary schools, and will continue to encourage further project developments.

Children’s University. We provide the administrative base for the Dundee Children’s University launched in early 2015 in partnership with Dundee University and Dundee and Angus College. 86 primary school children graduated from the first ceremony in June 2015 and we are committed to building on this success in 2016-17. Our strategic plan confirms our intention to mainstream equality and diversity across all of our activities. Our Equality Action Plan, which contains detailed actions related to student applications, admissions and student achievement, is routinely monitored and updated. We are making significant improvements to our management information in this area. See also page 9.

Children’s University. We provide the administrative base for the Dundee Children’s University launched in early 2015 in partnership with Dundee University and Dundee and Angus College. Since September 2013, Dundee Academy of Sport has worked with schools across Tayside and Fife using sport as a context for learning and to inspire and instil confidence in young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with teachers attributing an improvement in progression rates to tertiary education to be the result of pupil engagement with the work of DAoS. However, although we have managed to continue the project beyond the initial time frame, as no alternative funding has been found, the project will close in July 2018. We are in the process of considering the BSL National Plan (2017-23) and will develop our own BSL plan for publication by the start of academic year 2018-19 and implementation thereafter. We continue to monitor the profile of our undergraduate intake every year and table 1 shows the position for 2017-18. We are addressing this through the actions set out in our Gender Action Plan and developed through our participation in the ECU project “Attracting diversity: equality in student recruitment in Scottish HEIs” with ECU. The latter focused on four subject areas: computing, computer games art and design, sport and food innovation, but we monitor the full range of subjects through our institutional planning processes.

Children’s University. The University of Hull will continue to collaborate with both the Hull Children’s University and the Scarborough Children’s University to provide activities to primary pupils in schools located in neighbourhoods with significantly low participation. The University of Hull’s Federation of Colleges is a partnership of eight HE in FE providers. The Federation fulfils its strategic aims of supporting economic development across the Humber Local Economic Partnership, associated Enterprise Zones, City Deal and the wider region, through working together to increase learning opportunities and enhance widening participation progression into higher education. The Federation has a particular expertise and focus on vocational and work-based learning, supporting learners and employers to develop Higher Level Skills, increasingly important with the regeneration taking place across the region. At the heart of the network is the notion of new and relevant progression opportunities, backed by a quality assured framework. This is supported by processes for enhancing curriculum development (focused on priority learning areas) and collaborative professional development including research. This pre-HE group of sixth form colleges, FE colleges, schools and academies works jointly with the University of Hull to address social and economic challenges in the region through providing:  Activities for young people to raise aspiration and awareness of learning opportunities at HE level;  Direct recruitment activities to encourage progression post-16 and to the University of Hull;  A forum for collaborative debate on pertinent education policy and practice. The AIN has 40 members , several of which are key targets for the University in terms of its commitment to provide a learner progression framework of activities, due to their location in areas of significant deprivation and high proportion of learners on free school meals. The University of Hull is the lead University partner working with employers for three University Technical College (UTC) developments all with specialisms in Engineering and linked to the new industrial economic developments in the Humber estuary and North Yorkshire.

Children’s University. NTU is now the host organisation for the Children’s University, an initiative previously run by the local authority to engage children and their families in out-of-school learning. The scheme is open to children aged 7 to 14 and aims to promote social mobility by supporting high quality extra-curricular activities to children and engaging the wider communities as learning partners in this process. Each child has a Passport To Learning where s/he can collect the credits for learning which can lead to graduation at a Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx University graduation ceremony. An important principle of the Children's University is that participation is voluntary with a different feel, different activities and often a different location, involving groups of children and adults. It aims to raise aspirations, boost achievement and encourage a love of learning. It enables young people to make the most of their abilities and interests, regardless of the background into which they were born.

Children’s University. Glasgow Children’s University, managed by the University of Strathclyde in partnership with Glasgow City Council, and for which our Principal acts as Chancellor, was the first local Children's University centre to be established in Scotland. Its aim is to raise aspirations and awareness, boost achievement and encourage a love of learning. The programme currently has 32 member schools – 25 primary schools (including two autism units) and seven secondary schools. Almost 3,000 Passports to Learning have been distributed in Glasgow (with a focus on the North East of Glasgow, targeting low progression schools), with our pupil members logging over 18,000 hours of voluntary learning. More than 125 pupils received an award at graduation in June 2016. The Children’s University programme won the ‘Education Award’ at the Inspiring City Event in Glasgow, September 2015. In 2016, the University of Strathclyde partnered with BP to launch ‘Engineering the Future for Girls’, a programme aimed at addressing gender inequality in engineering by providing a one- week summer school for S3 girls. The programme, which runs in the last week of the school year, aims to inspire S3 (going into S4) girls to consider studying and pursuing a career in engineering. Girls participating in the BP programme were set a wide range of engineering challenges, with lots of hands-on activities designed to make it fun and engaging. Activities were completed in teams, included building a shelter for disaster relief, designing and building a wind turbine, and participating in a floating-egg race. Team challenges and competitions were interspersed with more focused sessions on ‘what’s it like to study engineering’. A site visit to BP Grangemouth included a question and answer session with professional female engineers. In its first year, the programme proved highly popular. After a very short advertising period, over 200 applications were received for the 60 places available. Teachers’ references indicated that many of our applicants were the “only girl in their physics class” and despite being non-residential, we attracted applicants from all regions of Scotland. We also had a large percentage of applicants and final attendees (>40%) from schools with over 20% of pupils from households in areas of multiple deprivation. In 2017, the University succeeded in attracting a further sponsor, the local engineering contractor BAM Nuttall. The additional funding enabled us to expand the current programme and...
