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.

  • Performing arts schools

    At specialist music, dance or performing arts schools, the arts aren't optional extras. They’re intrinsic to the school curriculum. Students are expected to fit in high level training and hours of practice alongside a full academic provision. It's a lot to ask any child to take on, but for those with exceptional performing ability this kind of education can be transformative.

  • Grammar schools best value added

    We examined the value-added from KS2 to GCSE for 2017 to see which state selective grammar schools added the most value to their offspring. A note of caution - the more highly selective a grammar school, the less scope there will be to add value. Read more
