Aston University, University College Birmingham, Newman University College, Birmingham City University (BCU) and the University of Birmingham are working collaboratively within the Aimhigher Partnership to enhance their service to schools, colleges and training providers.

Raising Aspirations

• Providing support for summer schools

• Working with Information, Advice and Guidance staff to support collaborative activity targeting under-represented groups

• Provision of in-reach / outreach activity for 14-19 learners

Raising Attainment

• Supporting the implementation of the Aimhigher Mentoring Programme

• Supporting the implementation of the Aimhigher Masterclass / taster / enrichment programme

Supporting Progression and Transition

For example through attendance at:

• Year 9 parents’ evenings / option choice evenings
• Year 11 parents / option choice evenings
• Year 9 to 11 careers events (during the daytime and evenings)

Other activities where HE input is required, but where this does not need to be institution specific. The universities are working to ensure that there is Aimhigher representation to advise on general progression to Higher Education and Progression Pathways to careers.
