Helping to Shape Young People’s Futures as a Progression Coach
We returned to the University of Gloucestershire for the third time this April. Students took part in a structured and engaging university insight day designed to build their knowledge, confidence and understanding of future pathways.
Last term we visited the University of Edinburgh with 21 Year 12 Future Leaders from Tyneside. It was an inspiring day that brought university study and STEM pathways to life.
"T hroughout secondary school, the programme provided mentorship and encouragement. I remember looking forward to sharing my progress with Karen each session we had. "
In March, Year 12 students from Hastings & Bexhill, Swindon and Bedfordshire had the opportunity to attend an Employer Insight Day at Sopra Steria’s London office, situated next to St Paul’s Cathedral.
Inspiring young scientists with hands-on learning led by our Year 12 students.
This month we are spotlighting Imrana who joined our team in July 2025 as a Progression Coach in Swindon and Wiltshire. With a degree in Interior Design, she brings a creative approach to her coaching, helping young people visualise their future pathways. Alongside work, her interests in photography, fitness, horse riding and baking all reflect the curiosity and creativity she brings into her role each day!
Villiers Park is proud to continue its partnership with MathWorks , which has significantly expanded the horizons of young people from under-represented backgrounds, demystifying pathways into STEM and developing key academic and employability skills that help young people to thrive. From hands-on workshops to immersive university experiences, our shared commitment has opened doors for young people who may not otherwise have access to these opportunities to excel in Mathematics, Science and Engineering.
