Global Matters Sample Clauses

Global Matters. Global Matters is a long-term sustained outreach project for Year 10s from disadvantaged backgrounds with the potential to achieve high grades at Level 2 study. The aims for the project are similar to those for SOAS Scholars: for participants to develop key critical thinking skills to fulfil their academic potential, to explore different subject areas to find the right one for them, and to increase their knowledge about university and how to get there. Recognising the links between socio-economic disadvantage and poor attainment at GCSE, the project aims to raise these disadvantaged students’ attainment as a first step towards growing the potential applicant pool of talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds progressing to selective universities. The project structure consists of a series of after-school sessions in which participants take part in small group sessions with current SOAS students. These sessions consist of subject tasters, HE workshops, or career-related activities. There are 6 sessions in Year 10 and 2 sessions in Year 11. This project is run directly with schools, with the first cohort running in collaboration with EGA School in Islington. All participants identified for the subject were either in receipt of Free School Meals, or would be the first in their family to progress to university, as well as being on the Gifted & Talented register. 12 participants completed the project this year, with their feedback being extremely positive. The performance of these pupils at GCSE will be tracked, as well as progression to further study. In addition, participants in Global Matters are guaranteed a place on SOAS Scholars: Thinking Globally! to continue this sustained outreach work and maximise impact. This year, all participants have registered an interest into progressing to SOAS Scholars: Thinking Globally! when in Year 12.
