Aimhigher London is committed to supporting Higher Education Institutions to meet their Strategic APP (Access and Participation Plan) priorities through our targeting of specific learner groups and range of programmes, co-produced to meet local need and address equality gaps.
We have forged strong working relationships with schools to ensure we are delivering the ‘right’ programme and targeting the ‘right’ learners to prepare them for success.
