Aspire Higher Sports Project

Aspire Higher is a consortium of the Uni Connect Project funded by the Office for Students. Our objective is to offer impartial support to secondary school students (Years 9-13), from areas defined by postcode, in making better informed decisions about their next steps into higher education whatever that may be - college, apprenticeship or university.

Our Sports Project is just one example of an outreach programme. Throughout the project, students learn about different case studies from those who have studied sports based courses, consider nutrition and look into physiology. Throughout the Project, we have embedded the Skills Builder essential skills at various points to add allow students the opportunity to understand and develop these skills whilst adding value to our project overall.
