This blended approach will continue into the way that we deliver outreach in partnership with the University of Leeds. As our key strategic partner, the university, through its rich tradition of research and focus on widening participation in education, will play a pivotal role in the development of our programmes. Outreach will allow unique access to university teaching staff and undergraduate students, providing a breadth and depth of experience and helping to bridge the gap to university study.

Our outreach offering is aligned to the central aim of The GORSE Academies Trust, that programmes should inspire all children to participate in the study of mathematics, irrespective of their background. Our programmes will actively seek to provide mathematical opportunity for students who are less represented in the A Level and Degree Level study of Mathematics, for example, girls and students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our research tells us that bringing children from these groups together, with like-minded peers, is fundamental to providing them with impetus and networks to excel in mathematics.
