Progression to Higher Education in London Dr. Graeme Atherton, Head AccessHE & Director National Education Opportunities Network (NEON)
Aim today Detailed look at young participation in London Explore what progress really means and importance of local understanding Identity thematic areas where we need more understanding
The London Miracle We were looking for communities, schools, programmes or business sectors that could be said to buck the trend of poor social mobility in Britain. Time and again, that search led back to London, so the project morphed into one looking at London s exceptionalism, in terms of educational attainment and social mobility. Why does the capital outperform? What could be learned and, ideally, copied? SOCIAL MOBILITY GOLDSPOTS: Capital Mobility The all-party parliamentary group on social mobility December 2013
Widening Participation: The Data Landscape Data Type of data Department of Education Destinations of key stage 4 and key stage 5 students BIS Widening Participation in Higher Education (FSM at 15) UCAS UCAS End of Cycle Report (POLAR/FSM/Gender/Ethnicity) HESA HESA Performance Indicators (POLAR/NS- SEC/disability/ethnicity) (by institution) HEFCE POLAR 3 OFFA Students receiving full state support (by institution)
POLAR POLAR is a classification of small areas according to rates of young participation in higher education. Assigns wards into one of five groups or quintiles . Quintile 1 contains areas with the lowest participation rates. Quintile 5 contains areas with the highest. Designed by HEFCE

Key points Key points Data landscape complex London leads way BUT London is unique London has access challenges London has access need
Where are knowledge gaps? How Access Agreement investment is used Why there are local differences in HE progression? How to accurately portray progression of young disadvantaged learners in London? What widening participation activities have greatest impact in London? What is interaction between gender/ethnicity/socio-economic group is understanding localised progression patterns? How do you extend progression knowledge across student lifecycle?
