Partnership with The Access Project comes to an end

The Access Project and Central Foundation Boys’ School have today jointly announced the conclusion of their formal academic partnership, effective at the close of the current academic year.

For over a decade, the two institutions have collaborated closely alongside corporate allies to deliver high-impact university access provisions, bespoke subject tuition, and targeted academic mentoring to under-resourced students in our school community.

Key Achievements of the Partnership:

  • Decade of Collaboration: Maintained a robust, 10-year joint initiative supporting state school students into higher education.
  • Oxbridge & Elite Placement: Successfully guided dozens of students through competitive entry pathways to Oxford, Cambridge, and Russell Group universities.
  • Academic Enhancement: Provided hundreds of hours of personalized, 1-1 academic tuition and GCSE/A-level mentoring.
  • Corporate Integration: Fostered multi-agency support networks alongside prominent city firms like our partners Slaughter and May.

 

The Headteacher of Central Foundation Boys’ School added:

The Access Project has been an invaluable partner to our Central Futures programme over the past decade. Together, we have worked to level the playing field for our Sixth Form students, removing barriers and enabling them to achieve academic excellence. As we now move to further strengthen and expand our internal careers and progression infrastructure, we do so with profound gratitude to the entire team at The Access Project for their sustained commitment and dedication to our students.

Looking ahead, the School will introduce a new programme of targeted one-to-one tuition and university preparation, designed to build on this strong foundation and continue to support our students in securing places at the most competitive universities. Further details of this exciting provision will be shared prior to the summer break.
