Widening Participation Activities Sample Clauses

Widening Participation Activities. Given the state of change in the sector, the end of Aim Higher, and the uncertainties surrounding collaborative arrangements, it is highly problematic setting interim targets and milestones. Our activity here at the University aims to support widening participation to this University and beyond. The University’s Performance Indicators provide the best assessment of our success in widening participation at this University. Measures of success for raising attainment and participation locally and regionally are dependent on successful collaboration with other HEIs and relevant stakeholders. Our milestones outlined in Annex C therefore relate to a range of individual and collaborative initiatives that will support the delivery of our overarching aims to deliver widening participation. To secure agreement during 2011-12 for a local Leicester/Leicestershire partnership between the three HEIs, the local authority, local schools, colleges and other appropriate agencies to deliver aspiration raising and widening participation activities to the local area, and to monitor progression to HE in the region. To complete the pilot phase of the initiative with the other partner Universities by 2013, and to roll out an appropriate, enlarged version of the programme here at Leicester from 2012, to treble the participants on the scheme at Leicester from 35 to 100 students. To deliver two summer schools in support of young students from 2012, for a minimum of 40 students per year. These will be funded by ourselves and through philanthropic giving, and are in addition to specific departmental activities (in many cases funded through external sources), such as the annual Space School. To embed the current AimHigher programme offered by this University, with the following in 2012- 13: at least 10 University experience days (years 9/10), 10 Masterclasses (Year 12), and a further 10 in-school interventions. These activities and interventions will impact on well over 1,000 pupils. By 2013, to replace the Student Associate Scheme with a range of embedded opportunities for current undergraduates to be placed in schools and support the aspirations and learning of young people in a range of targeted schools. This will build towards 200 undergraduate student placements.

Widening Participation Activities. The School expects its financial support proposals to be a powerful tool in maintaining and improving access for poorer students. In addition, however, we are proposing to develop and extend our outreach activities. The School guarantees minimum funding for its widening participation activities of £200,000 a year (from 2008-09 onwards). This funding is derived from the additional fee income. We will continue to seek external funding (from alumni, donors, corporate sponsors, etc.) to augment the portfolio of widening participation activities listed below. Indeed some of the activities included in the Access Agreement are funded (either wholly or in part) by external donors. However, it is relevant to include these programmes in the Access Agreement as they demonstrate the full breadth of the School’s commitment to widening access. Our WP activities will explicitly target various groups normally thought to be underrepresented in the university sector (eg. poorer students, those from low performing state schools, those from certain ethnic groups, those from families with little or no history in HE, etc.). We have two main objectives; i The first is to increase the number of people who satisfy the above criteria to apply to study at the LSE; we would also hope that an increase in the number of applicants will also result in an increase in the number of registrations. ii The second is to help people from the above groups to raise their aspirations to attend university, and to attend universities previously thought beyond their expectations. Our detailed WP proposals build on our considerable experience in this area and are a mixture of either new or expanded schemes. A brief description of our schemes is as follows:
