United Access is a four-year long university access programme aimed at raising aspirations and opportunities amongst disadvantaged students. Three year 9 students from each of the six participating schools will be selected for this programme. United Access will open with a residential at Caterham School in July 2017. Every year for the next four years, these students will come back for two residentials – one at Caterham and one at a leading university. They will take part in university style lectures and exciting enrichment activities. This pioneering scheme is modelled on the Accelerate and Access Foundation’s current flagship programme, the Academies Partnership Programme in Kent (KAN), seed funded by the Sutton Trust, and which has been running in Kent for the last three years and has shown early positive results (evidenced in a report prepared by the Centre for Evaluation Management at the University of Durham).
United Learning is a multi-academy trust which runs 56 schools across the country: primary and secondary, academies and independent schools. We are a group of schools which aims to provide excellent education to children and young people across the country. We seek to improve the life chances of all the children and young people we serve and make it our mission to bring out 'the best in everyone' – students, staff, parents and the wider community.
