Think and Go Higher –

GHWY’s Uni Connect attainment raising programme

Go Higher West Yorkshire (GHWY), working in collaboration with our Higher Education Providers and stakeholders, taking in to account sector wide evidence, devised a 6 week attainment raising programme.

This structure and sustained programme is aimed at years 8, 9 and 10 and focuses on increasing the attainment of learners via the development of their metacognitive skills.

The programme aims to improve metacognitive skills which focus on processes used in planning, monitoring, critical thinking, communicating knowledge and applying logic, resulting in learners being more effective and efficient in their learning. The outcome of improving these skills will result in improved attitudes to learning and academic self-efficacy, which will increase attainment amongst learners.

The programme is delivered by our trained Outreach Officers based in our Higher Education Providers. Please note – we are only able to offer the structured programme delivered by Outreach Officers with select target schools. The sessions, featured below, are designed so they can be delivered independently by school staff. They can be delivered as stand alone sessions or part of a programme.
