How we work with schools
At Nottingham Trent University, we are committed to improving social mobility.
We work in close partnership with schools in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County to close the gap in attainment amongst Free School Meals (FSM) pupils and increase participation in higher education.
Research shows that young people who engage in multiple outreach activities are significantly more likely to apply to and thrive in higher education.
We deliver activities in-school and across our campuses, and our initiatives begin in Year 5 and run up to Year 11.
