Bradford has a rich heritage of Widening Participation activities tracing back to the ‘Going On‘ scheme inaugurated in 1993. From these beginnings and transforming through Excellence Challenge we have active and equal partnerships with over 15 HEIs both within West Yorkshire and further afield.
Of our many programmes we are particularly proud of our acclaimed primary school programmes, our pioneering work with ‘TTT’ (Tomorrow’s Teachers Today) and our newly innovative ‘PL4’ (Progression into Level 4) scheme.
Our lasting legacy is our students. Whether it’s Shabana Kosar, the first Asian woman in a fire service uniform in the UK or Aleh Beckar, a former asylum seeker now studying medicine, there are many more inspiring stories.
And lots more to come!
