About the organisation

The Access Project is an education charity; we believe that every young person can make the most of education, unlocking their potential and creating a fairer society. Our mission is to support students from under-resourced backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university.
The programme combats educational inequality and improves social mobility by raising students’ grades and supporting them to understand the pathway to a top university. Young people on our programme are 50% more likely to place at a top university compared to statistically similar students.

1. Empowerment

We support students and our people to develop the skills and knowledge to accomplish their goals.

2. Courage

We encourage our students and our people to be authentic, innovative and ambitious in order to reach their full potential and deliver our mission.

3. Impact

We evolve our programmes through an evidence-led approach, supporting our students to achieve their best outcomes.

4. Inclusion

We respect and value individuality and engage diverse voices to achieve our mission.

5. Ownership

We hold ourselves accountable in all our actions and efforts. We ask “What can I do to improve my results?”
