I think one-to-one coaching is a really good approach because it's personal, but it also doesn't tell you what to do because there isn't one way of helping each student

When I started the programme, I knew very little about university, where I wanted to go and how I wanted to go. I had a goal and the team at Villiers Park helped me.

Our Activity in Swindon and Wiltshire

Why Swindon and Wiltshire?

Only 34.4% of residents in Swindon hold Level 4 qualifications or higher, compared to a national average of 40.3%. In some wards, participation in higher education remains below 20%. Swindon’s relative deprivation is most severe in the education, skills and training domain, some areas fall within the most deprived 10% nationally This reflects barriers in accessing quality education and training opportunities.
