This always makes me a bit emotional as @QMUL is where I did my undergrad degree 🥹 Really hope all @AccessProjectUK students had a great time visiting such a fab university!

A huge thank you to the staff at @QMUL and @QMULOutreach for welcoming our school visits today. These visits are so beneficial to our students and are a key part of our programme.
We can't thank you enough! 😀

Such an inspiring visit to show our funders the @AccessProjectUK at @ArkGlobeAcademy 🌟UAO Fahima was fab setting it up & the 3 Globe students who came to chat to us were just wonderful. The school is brilliant & we can’t wait to see what comes next for these young people!

So sad to see this, I've lovely memories of going to @MatthewsYard with my baby while on mat leave to munch a cinnamon bun the size of my head❤️
It's a big loss for Croydon-the highstreet has been destroyed & left half empty by landlords. There's few reasons to go there anymore.

Our mission is to support disadvantaged students to get to top universities and fulfil their potential.

💡Insightful @TheIFS article shows that compared to 20–21, low-income students have lost >£1K in maintenance loans. Cuts will make life disproportionately harder for the least advantaged students & will lead them to decide against going to university. ifs.org.uk/news/cost-living-…

In these difficult times, attending university open days can be out of reach for some. We offer uni visits at no cost to families so pupils can experience student life and feel informed. On #GivingTuesday, your donation tells our pupils they can dream big bit.ly/3UW0mb3

On a day like today where everything in the world feels terrible, I think about this - lovely autumnal walks with my little Foxy ♥️

Really awful statistics here - so much progress wiped out over just 2 years 📉and with a cost of living crisis & more education budget cuts looming, this is a truly worrying time for young people from less advantaged homes.

📚 Education in the #autumnbudget 📚
10 years of progress in closing the gap between poorer and richer children has reversed post-pandemic 📉
The government must support young people to catch up on lost learning.
Cuts to education budgets risk further widening the gap.

Today, we’ve published a new guide.“Making a Difference with Effective Tutoring” aims to support school leaders to implement tutoring effectively in their setting.
Evidence suggests tuition is a significant opportunity in closing the socio-economic attainment gap.

This #TrusteesWeek, we’re busting myths about #trusteeship including “I’m too young to be a #trustee. Aren’t most trustees in their 50s or older?”. Francesca explains why this is not the case:
