Dr Derin B. Email and Phone Number

My role at TAP focuses on engaging senior leadership teams in schools and local government, in order to enhance the progression of secondary school students to Higher Education. This is aimed at assisting schools in achieving their strategic ambitions in the area of student recruitment, attainment, and progression to universities and apprenticeships. Some Headline outcomes include:*An inner-city London School saw its progression to HE increase from 40% to 90% after working with them over a 2-year period. This school has sustained 90% progression over the last 8 years, and now run an oversubscribed sixth-form.*Over a 2-Year Academic period, a local Goverment commissioned TAP project - with the highest attaining students from Sixth-Forms and Colleges across the Borough, saw 100% of these TAP Scholars progress to University; with 70% of them going to Russell Group Universities and Medical Schools. *An ongoing TAP Enrichment project; working with mixed-attainment students selected based on their residence in 'low progression' postcodes, has seen 80% of these TAP Participants already progress to HE in September 2019.
