The Access Project

www.theaccessproject.org.uk

The Access Project delivers a personalised programme for year 10s to year 13s to support them in securing places at the UK's most selective universities.

They work in school and provide students with a volunteer academic tutor from business to support them in a particular subject at GCSE or A level. They deliver a programme of tailored one to one and group support on the pathway to university, such as support around choosing GCSEs and A levels, making a good university application, and student finance.

They say that students at the schools they work with are twice as likely to attend a selective university than students at similar schools, and make on average an extra 6 months academic progress in their tutored subject.

Special educational needs

Over the years, diagnosis of and provision for SEN have improved, but both can still be a minefield.

Finding a state grammar school

Counties such as Kent or Buckinghamshire are ‘selective authorities’ and most families will have at least one grammar school close to where they live. Elsewhere, for example in Reading or Kingston-on-Thames, there are just one or two grammar schools and competition for places at these is ferocious. How to find a state grammar school Grammar schools are located in 36 English local authorities. Almost half of these are considered 'selective authorities' (eg Kent and Buckinghamshire), where around one in five local children are selected for grammar school entry based on ability. The others are areas such as Barnet or Kingston,…
Schools for children with performing arts talents

As proud parents, we all know our children are unique. They're smarter than anyone else's, funnier, certainly more attractive, better behaved and above all bursting with the kind of talent that would leave Daniel Radcliffe, Jamie Bell and Charlotte Church standing. And for some extraordinary - though totally understandable - reason, everyone but us seems blind to our offspring's God-given artistic gifts.
