Mentoring Scheme renews Approved Provider Standard with MBF
The Mentoring and Befriending Foundation (MBF) have praised the IntoUniversity Mentoring Scheme and rewarded us with the national benchmark of best practice- the Approved Provider Standard. The Quality and Standards Coordinator commented on the focused aims of the scheme "I was particularly impressed with your matching process, which includes target setting." and summed up his findings stating "Given this consistent high standard of your application, I would be happy to highlight your project as an example of good practice that others in mentoring could learn from." Well done everybody on making the scheme such a success!

Some people think they will never succeed: we think they will
We deliver a rounded programme of educational and pastoral support to local people, providing opportunities to raise their aspirations, fulfil their potential and enjoy learning. We offer a 'fresh start' in an appealing local learning centre.
NFER Report published The Sutton Trust commissioned an external audit of the IntoUniversity programme and a highly impressive report has been published. The report highlights the positive effect on young people, "IntoUniversity is having a positive transformational impact on children and young people in terms of their academic learning and success, their attitudes to learning and their social skills - all of which are key elements that help children and young people to aspire and achieve.” It also describes the service as exemplary, "IntoUniversity provides a role model of how young people from deprived areas can be inspired to achieve their full potential."
