IntoUniversity
Our mission is to provide local support that can break cycles of disadvantage and open up new opportunities for young people. We believe in the talent of every young person, and do not limit our support to those young people who have been labelled ‘bright’ or ‘gifted’. We believe that, with support, every young person can progress to an excellent post-school destination and we are committed to helping them on this journey.
ABOUT US:
IntoUniversity provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve. At each local centre IntoUniversity offers a range of innovative programmes that support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to attain either a university place or another chosen aspiration.
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS:
The link between economic disadvantage and educational underachievement permeates every stage of a young person’s education. Academic attainment is a crucial factor in determining the options available to young people when they leave school. Young people have suffered severe learning loss as a result of school closures, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds have been among those hardest hit.
OUR VALUES:
Compassion
Talent
Quality
Aspiration
Teamwork
THINGS WE ARE PROUD OF:
66% of our 2021 school leavers progressed to Higher Education, compared to 27% of students from similar backgrounds nationally.
Our network has grown to 35 centres across England and Scotland, supporting over 40,000 young people each year.
