Widening participation and outreach

The Widening Participation and Outreach Team develops engaging programmes that address and help remove some of the barriers that young people may face in accessing Higher Education.

We deliver a range of projects with specific target schools and colleges populations and prioritise working with children and young people from areas of the population that are traditionally under-represented or disadvantaged in Higher Education.

This helps widen participation in universities and aids St Mary’s delivery of our Access and Participation Plan and meet the requirements of our regulator, the Office for Students (OfS).
