Information for schools and colleges
What we offer
SOAS’ Access and Participation team offers an exciting programme of activities to inform, inspire and engage your students.
This offer is available to state-maintained schools, colleges and academies, and we are particularly keen to engage with learners eligible for free school meals as part of our work to increase progression to higher education.
Priority school network
Joining our priority school network enables you to access our full range of activities free of charge, as outlined in mutually-agreed partnership agreements. You also benefit from having a designated lead Access and Participation Officer as your SOAS contact, who works with you to put together a programme of enjoyable and impactful activities for your learners.
The priority school network aims to raise student attainment and widen participation in higher education. In order to join the network, we usually require schools to have a higher proportion of learners eligible for free school meals than the national average. If you would like to find out more, please contact us at apss@soas.ac.uk.
