Common use of Targets and Milestones Clause in Contracts

Targets and Milestones. Given our strong track record in widening participation, where we exceed by some distance the benchmarks for recruitment of students from low income families, and the obvious uncertainty in the way in which national policy may affect recruitment from these groups, we intend to maintain our current levels of performance. Our targets for the next 5 years are: Outreach activities: To complete the programme set out in Appendix A, including 770 events reaching 29,925 potential students and their advisers, at a cost of £1.2m. WP targets: We aim to remain within one standard deviation (or better) of our HESA benchmark. In practice this will mean we recruit no less than 41% of our students from NS-SEC 4,5,6 and 7, and no less than 15% from low participation neighbourhoods.
