A2U
Aspire2Uni (A2U) is a progressive programme for young people in care who are in Year 7 upwards. Working in partnership with Virtual Schools from 5 local authorities within the West Midlands including the Sandwell Council. A2U has been successfully running at Wolverhampton University since 2015.
One of the main aims of the programme is to raise the aspirations and attainment of Looked After Children and young people to support them through their educational journey to the University or work to increase better life chances and economic independence.
The vision is to develop well rounded, confident and responsible individuals to make informed choices about Higher Education as their educational pathway. By breaking down barriers, increasing self-belief and raising aspirations we aim to enable our participants to reach and expand their potential.
