Current and Ongoing Activity. The range of activities outlined above will continue to be managed by the ELC team, who last year engaged 66 schools and colleges in our student Tutoring and Mentoring schemes, ran a residential summer school for 84 students, provided a lecture programme that attracted over 1,300 students, ran specific widening participation hands-on activities for over 2,200 students from Years 8 – 13, facilitated subject specific activity for over 1,600 students, involved 405 students and 56 staff in volunteering activities, and saw nearly 2,500 young people from 26 different schools enjoy our Science and Technology bus facilities. The additional outreach income from variable fees was used last year to further engage academic departments in the provision of in-depth outreach activity. The majority of the projects supported activity in the STEM curriculum area, or in the uptake of modern foreign languages within the national curriculum amongst less widely represented groups. However, other projects, such as work in the humanities on politics-related activity within the FE sector, were also undertaken. Many of these schemes were designed to produce a legacy package to progressively support attainment and aspiration-raising activity; for example, using Excel spreadsheets to model within the national curriculum GCSE Sciences, and software to help school pupils aged 12 – 13 years to understand the environmental consequences of their daily journey to school. This approach has markedly increased the number of academic staff prepared to engage with outreach activity, and £100,000 per annum of the University’s additional variable fee income will continue to be used for this specific purpose.
