What is Supported Progression? It is a programme for talented students who have the potential to study at a university like Durham, and who will benefit from additional help and support to reach their full potential. Supported Progression or SP offers a two-year coherent, structured programme of events and information. Events include a full day for you and a parent/carer; a two night residential event; and a five night residential summer school, which is assessed. Information provided throughout the event includes topics such as applying to university and UCAS, student finance, studying abroad, and a variety of skills workshops such as presentation skills, teamwork, time-management.Those who successfully complete the SP programme and perform to the required standard in the assessed summer school project at the end of Year 12 will be recognised as having achieved a qualification equivalent to 16-32 UCAS tariff points.
This will contribute towards meeting the entry requirements for a programme of study within the academic department where assessed at Durham University. Students will then receive a guaranteed, conditional offer for that particular course should they apply to Durham University during Year 13. Dr Dwain A. Neil, Reach Society, Chairman
