Collaborative working between institutions. Birmingham City University will continue the collaborative Aimhigher West Midlands partnership, which was established in 2011/12 with the University of Birmingham, Aston University and University College Birmingham, and in 2016/17 will extend to include The University of Worcester. The partnership met its yearly milestones in 2013/14 and is on course to do so again in 2014/ 15. We therefore confirm our intention to engage 1,000 disadvantaged young people in Aimhigher’s intensive activity in each year from 2015/16 to 2019/20, and to increase the number and geographical range of the schools we work with. Birmingham City University will jointly fund Aimhigher with a contribution of £35,000 in 2016/17 and will be intimately involved in its governance and management. The outreach activities delivered through the partnership will complement the University’s own extensive programme of widening access and fair access measures outlined elsewhere in this agreement. Our non-OFFA linked collaborative work to broker, coordinate and deliver outreach activities and events for higher education advice and guidance practitioners working to support the progression of disadvantaged young people will be greatly extended as a result of Aimhigher West Midlands’ success in becoming part of the HEFCE- funded NNCO initiative. Aimhigher West Midlands has a comprehensive evaluation strategy to monitor targeting, engagement, the progression of beneficiaries and the impact of Aimhigher on aspiration, attainment and progression to HE. This work has progressed to schedule via a PhD linked research project with the Centre for Higher Education Equity and Access. Large control and experimental groups span the 11-19 phase and include young people who meet all, some or no WP targeting criteria. Analysis to date suggests that engagement in Aimhigher during Key Stage 3 and 4 generates increased aspiration towards higher education (+12.5% above non-participants) and is associated with improved KS4 attainment (62.1% of learners engaged 6 times achieved 5 GCSEs at A*-C (including English and maths) compared to a cohort average of 56%). Initial findings suggest the full-time HE application rate for the cohort of Aimhigher beneficiaries attaining the age of 18 or 19 during 2011/12 is higher (43.7%) than that for the local population of 18 and 19 year olds (30.6%). The partnership’s ability to evaluate causality and impact in such detail is dependent on access to learner level data from schools, loca...

Collaborative working between institutions. Birmingham City University has formed a collaborative partnership with the University of Birmingham, Aston University and University College Birmingham to take forward the legacy of the Birmingham and Solihull Aimhigher partnership. Established in 2004, that partnership of five HEIs, two local authorities and 118 local schools, academies and FE/6th Form Colleges in Birmingham and Solihull, proved very successful in developing an extensive provision of mentoring, master class, summer school and Information Advice and Guidance activities for schools. This new partnership will seek to take forward this work in collaboration with schools, focusing upon pre-16 education, with a new organisational model which draws upon the experience and successful initiatives of the Aimhigher partnership. Birmingham City University will jointly fund the coordination of this partnership’s work with a contribution of £25,000 in 2011-12 and £35,000 in 2012-13, and is intimately involved in its governance and management. As previously indicated, organisational support for partnership activities, both staffing and non-pay expenditure, will now be funded from within the University’s outreach team. Partnership activities will complement Birmingham City University’s own extensive programme of widening access and fair access measures. The Birmingham and Solihull Higher Education Progression Partnership is developing a comprehensive impact and evaluation plan which will monitor student engagement with partnership activities, track the progression of those learners with whom the partnership works most closely, evaluate the overall effectiveness of the partnership activity and disseminate good practice. Evaluation will include both quantitative and qualitative measures and will provide evidence to partner HEIs and schools engaged in the programme.

Collaborative working between institutions. The University will continue to support collaborative working between institutions in the following ways: The University of Liverpool is a member of Realising Opportunities (RO), a unique collaboration of 12 research intensive universities working together to promote fair access and social mobility of students from under-represented groups. The Realising Opportunities programme provides support for students through interventions designed to raise aspirations and enable them to demonstrate their potential for success at a research intensive university. These interventions are offered both at their local participating university, and nationally, so that the student can tailor the programme to meet their own needs and interests. The programme includes a national conference which is a compulsory element for all participating students. Each student is supported through the programme by a student e-mentor. The mentor, an undergraduate student from one of the 12 universities, provides ongoing support and encouragement. Successful completion of RO, which includes a robust academic element, will lead to students receiving an alternative offer through UCAS from the University of Liverpool. The RO Strategy Group has unanimously agreed that the 12 participating institutions will each commit £35,000 to the scheme in 2012-13. This commitment will ensure that the momentum of the programme is maintained, will enable the recruitment of a third cohort of students, and will build up the evidence base for evaluating the impact of the project. Continuation of the National Primary network – making available resource materials and consultancy for other HEIs who wish to work with primary schools. This is supplemented by the Teachers’ Pack of resource materials for schools. Development of the Volunteer pack for Students’ Unions, working with the Liverpool Guild of Students to develop and disseminate this to other HEIs. This supports volunteering in schools by students, to support aspiration raising and attainment. Working with the University of Manchester on the provision of IAG for learners across the North West, to support decision making around entry to selective HEIs. Where appropriate, looking for opportunities to collaborate with Merseyside HEIs, building upon the successful Aimhigher Greater Merseyside partnership. Working with the AccessHE partnership, established in London as a post-Aimhigher organisation. We have been approached by the Partnership to develop reciprocal l...

Collaborative working between institutions. 4.4.1 Xxxxx Xxxx understands the impact of well-targeted collaborative work with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and other external partners. The University of Warwick and Xxxxx Xxxx entered into a collaborative agreement in 2012, and a substantial branch of this partnership is widening participation. Both institutions’ outreach teams are continuing to share good practice and draw on experience of working to widen participation in two quite different geographical areas to enhance and strengthen existing initiatives and approaches. Following successful evaluation of our 2013-14 work we are again delivering a five-day residential summer school in July 2014 split across both institutions’ campuses. Maintaining a focus on medicine pathways, this collaborative event will allow participants to understand better two different routes into medicine (via Queen Xxxx’s undergraduate entry course and Xxxxxxx’s graduate entry course), as well as exposing these participants, who will be likely to consider only local universities, to a different region and the idea of geographical mobility. Xxxxx Xxxx and the University of Xxxxxxx will continue to jointly evaluate all collaborative activities to ensure that plans for activity in 2015-16 are evidence- based. 4.4.2 We will continue to commit resources to collaborative work with charities and other external organisations involved in widening participation and access. This will include groups such as Into University, a well established programme that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to progress to higher education, and the Social Mobility Foundation, an education charity that supports high-achieving Year 12 students from low income backgrounds. We will also work in partnership with the Brilliant Club, which recruits, trains and places PhD students in non-selective state schools and sixth-form colleges serving low participation communities. The programme delivers university-style tutorials to small groups of students to help them develop the skills, confidence and ambition needed to secure places at top universities. Additionally, we will support Barts Cancer Institute, and their collaboration with the Access-Work Placements Project, to embed their week-long summer school programme giving Year 12 students first-hand experience of medical research. 4.4.3 Xxxxx Xxxx is also a partner in Capital L, the London consortium of the National Routes into Languages programme. The consortium's 13 partner HEIs coll...

The partnership met its yearly milestones in 2015/16 and is on course to do so again in 2016/17. We therefore confirm our intention to engage 1,000 disadvantaged young people in Aimhigher‟s intensive activity in each year from 2018/19. As part of this collaborative programme, we will seek opportunities to extend and enhance our work with young people facing multiple dimensions of disadvantage. This will include support for children in care via our relationship with the Birmingham Virtual School. We will align the management and delivery of this collaborative activity with that of our National Collaborative Outreach Programme consortia, monitoring the engagement of regional schools and colleges and the ages of the students we engage to ensure those outside the scope of the NCOP are not marginalised. We will also increase our efforts to engage schools and colleges in the region‟s only Opportunity Area (Stoke-on-Trent). Birmingham City University will jointly fund Aimhigher with a contribution of £35,000 in 2018/19 and will be intimately involved in its governance and management. The outreach activities delivered through the partnership will complement our own extensive programme of widening access and fair access measures outlined elsewhere in this Agreement.

Collaborative working between institutions. UEL has a track record and an ongoing commitment to collaborative working practice and the University is keen to continue this approach nationally, regionally and locally. At a national level we are members of the Forum for Access and Continuing Education and Action on Access: both provide important access to networking opportunities to share and build WP practice. Our leadership role in both organisations contributes to the regional and national debate and development of WP policy and practice. At regional level we are members of Linking London and the National Network for Collaborative Outreach (NNCO): Continuum and our outreach team are undertaking a joint research project, ‘Reaching East’, with University College London to map engagement with outreach activity in East London, Thurrock and Essex to inform future targeting of outreach. At a local level we are currently focusing on the significant collaboration that is University Square Stratford (USS). Open since September 2013, University Square Stratford is a unique partnership between the University of East London and Birkbeck, University of London. At the heart of USS is a collaborative pre-entry IAG service that is open to prospective students of both institutions and indeed to members of the public in general. The IAG service is a truly innovative provision between the two universities that provides a visible, accessible and impartial service to the local population. The pre-entry IAG service is an example of substantial and meaningful collaboration. We aim for the service to provide 2500 individual IAG interviews for prospective students per year by 2017-18, supporting applications to appropriate programmes at both institutions, as well as signposting to other local providers. As well as the initial IAG service, the building will continue to play host to a comprehensive series of collaborative outreach events. Implementing the CRM system will provide data to enable us to develop and refine over time targets around progression and retention and will enable us to further develop the support offered to students accessing the IAG service from first contact, through to successful transition. The service is evaluated through the monitoring systems at both institutions and through the collection of case studies.
