£597k support given to our region in past year
learning mentors.
Nicola Beech, 24, describes herself
as coming from a “very working-
class background” and was the first
of her family to go on to higher
education. She is now studying for a
PhD at the University of Hull.
Ms Beech, now living in Kings-
wood and an Aimhigher mentor,
said: “There were so many kids I
worked with that said ‘university is
not for people like me.’
“But I could tell them I came from
the same place and went to the same
schools they did.
“Getting to know me completely
changed their perceptions, and
that’s something you can’t get from a
university prospectus or a lecture
from your school teacher.”
Unlike the current method of
identifying students who receive
free school meals, the scheme
supports students according to
their postal address, meaning
young people in East Yorkshire’s
most deprived areas were helped.
Hundreds of youngsters from 30
different schools attended an
Aimhigher event at the KC Stadium
this week.
Teentech gave students a chance to
meet engineers and scientists to
understand how science and maths
can given them exciting careers.
Archbishop Sentamu Academy
student Jasmine Randerson, 12,
said: “Not many people like us get to
do things like this.
“I didn’t really like science before,
but now I’ve seen all the different
things you can do with it as a job, I
think it’s really exciting.
“When I’m older, I’m going to get a
part-time job and save up so I can go
to university. I don’t know how
much it costs, but I know it costs a
lot.”
Although Aimhigher will cease to
exist, school staff say they will
attempt to carry on the work.
Tom Smith, head of science at
Goole High School, said: “The fund-
ing has allowed us to exceed our
targets when it comes to the grades
our kids are achieving.
“The scheme funded one-to-one
support within the school, focusing
on English, maths and science.
“Just a little bit of time weekly has
allowed many students to go up a
grade in key pieces of coursework.
“Without funding, that’s going to
be taken away.”
“Aimhigher gives kids an oppor-
tunity to really build their self
confidence, which creates a ripple
effect among their peers.”

AIMHIGHER is a
national programme
that began in 2004.
The Higher Education
Funding Council for
England funded the
scheme with the
Department for
Business, Innovation
and Skills.
Last year, Aimhigher
provided £597,931 to
support Hull and East
Riding schools.
The programme runs
a £21 million associates
scheme, where current
university students act
as paid mentors to 14
to 19-year-olds in East
Yorkshire schools.
More than 5,000
undergraduates work
for the scheme
nationally, supporting
more than 21,000
pupils.
Weekly meetings give
pupils the opportunity
to speak to someone
who is studying a
subject which is similar
to their own interests.
Many students also
take part in e-mentoring
online.
