Along with the sector as a whole, Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ is working to address issues around racial and social inequality and justice; in particular, we are seeking to understand better and reduce the difference in academic performance between BME and White students.

Our Access and Participation Plan 2020-25 (PDF) also lays out in detail our strategy and targets for widening access, student success and progression.

*Socio-economic background

This is represented by applicant/student Index of Multiple Deprivation derived from their postcode. Commonly known as the EIMD, this is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in England.

The index ranks every small area of England based on the area’s weighted performance in seven key areas – income, employment, education, health, crime, housing and environment. Each area is then assigned a quintile based on the combined weighted scores, where 1 is the most deprived and 5 is the least deprived.
