Trinity supports new Great Yarmouth EDUCATION CENTRE

A new education centre in Great Yarmouth supported by Trinity is enhancing educational opportunities for less-advantaged young people. Local primary school students can attend the centre, based in the Market Gates Shopping Centre, where after-school study and mentoring sessions are provided. The initiative is a partnership between the College, the University of East Anglia (UEA), and IntoUniversity, the charity working to broaden access to university.

Trinity’s Outreach Programme comprises residential and school visits to the College, mentoring programmes and partnerships with organisations around the country working with young people. A new strand involves working with coastal communities in the East of England. Trinity’s Admissions Director Professor Glen Rangwala said the partnership was an exciting step for the College, which was committed to helping young people in the region realise their potential.

IntoUniversity is working with seven local schools in Great Yarmouth, which is one of 39 centres run by the charity in 22 locations across England and Scotland, supporting more than 46,000 young people. Of students attending their centres, 66% go on to university, compared with 26.6% of students from similar backgrounds nationally.
