Aspiration raising activity Sample Clauses

Aspiration raising activity. Our aspiration raising activity is led by our Widening Participation (WP) team within the Department of External Relations. The main objective of the WP team is to raise the aspirations and attainment of local young people to encourage those, with the ability, to consider HE as an option for them. We continue to work within the Aimhigher programme to provide participants each year with a number of aspiration and attainment raising activities. Under the Aimhigher brand DMU also works collaboratively with the other local FE and HE providers to offer a thorough representation and example of the FE and HE provision available with our region. Collaborative projects for further development include enhancing support for students with disabilities considering HE and support for Looked After Children, delivered by the Transitions Team in Student Services. Much of the work of the WP team is externally funded (AimHigher, HEFCE, ESF) and as such, some activities are delivered in conjunction with the Universities of Leicester and Loughborough. Activities typically include: Year 7 Problem Solving sessions for full year groups Tasters for Year 8 students, introducing them to the concept of HE Year 9 Roadshows – Aimhigher events run collaboratively with the Universities of Leicester and Loughborough Year 9 Visual CV Workshops helping students with their Year 9 option choices University Experience Days attended by Year 10 students Week-long Gifted and Talented drawing schools Year 11 Study Skills events for students entering their final GCSE year Masterclasses - subject specific sessions/study tasters for Year 11/12 students who fall within the Gifted and Talented cohort. Plus a range of additional regular events throughout the year such as parents evenings and dyslexia support evenings and one-off events with partner schools and colleges. All outreach work is supported and enhanced by the employment of a team of trained Student Ambassadors who work with student groups at all stages. A budget of circa £22,000 is allocated annually by DMU to undertake this WP work plus – in 2009/10 - £41,000 Aimhigher funding.
