## Notice

Aspire to HE' is a partner-based consortium which will deliver sustained, progressive, intensive outreach activity to targeted cohorts of learners (years 9 to 13) in identified wards to increase the numbers of students from disadvantaged backgrounds entering higher education. The measure of success is the progression of young people onto courses of prescribed higher education. The key aim is to increase the rate of young participation in HE in the target wards: 'young participation' is defined as the proportion of the cohort that enters HE at both 18 and 19 years of age. Provision An external party has been appointed to oversee the evaluation of the Aspire to HE National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) project over the 2019/2020 period.
