  3. Introduction The Kent & Medway Progression Federation is a partnership between Canterbury Christ Church University, the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent, the University for the Creative Arts, Kent County Council, Medway Council and 40 partner schools, working together to raise the aspirations and attainment of young people in Kent and Medway who may not otherwise consider higher education as a route to success.

  4. Partnership Characteristics • Equality of governance • Cost effectiveness of collaboration - pooling resources rather than funds - Joined up approach to monitoring and evaluation • Sharing of expertise • Prioritising student need over institutional agenda

  5. The School Perspective “KMPF have continued to support significant culture change in Kent High Schools, providing a vehicle for schools to access HE institutions. Given the need for HE to develop Access Agreements which includes attracting and including the disadvantaged within HE admissions, the mutual benefits from collaboration have never been more tangible and important for all institution phases.” Partner school head teacher • Equal voice • On site progression mentor • Bespoke activities • Direct access to universities • Staff training

  6. Targeting a cohort for KMPF • All students should be identified according to the following criteria: • First generation HE students with no parental background in HE • Students live in a deprived neighborhood (according to student post code profile which KMPF can supply) • Academic potential to progress to Higher Education level using FFT data or current actual data • In addition, the following students should be targeted: • Looked after children and students with disabilities who have the potential to progress to Higher Education level
