We offer a wide range of outreach activities for schools and colleges, teachers and students in the North East, with a particular focus on the six local authorities in the South of the region: Darlington, Durham, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees.

We would love to hear from you if you would like us to work with your school: please contact Richard Petty on access.officer@trinity.ox.ac.uk with any questions or to arrange an introductory discussion on how we can support schools, teachers and students. Richard is based in the region and is dedicated to outreach there.

Oxford for Northeast in Partnership with Universify Education

The vision of this programme is for all students to reach their potential in education. To achieve this, Universify and Oxford for Northeast want to help more students from non-traditional backgrounds to feel empowered and excited about fulfilling their potential at top universities.

Through this year-long programme the aim is to realise educational aspirations, raise school attainment and application prospects to highly selective universities.

The year-long programme is for Year 10 students unsure about whether university is for them. By taking part in the programme students will become a university student during a week-long residential in an Oxford College in the summer holidays, gain a true experience of what it is like to study at a top university and how they can make it to a highly selective university, with the help of a Universify coach.

If you would like to know more about the programme you can register your school’s interest in taking part here. Alternatively email access.offcier@trinity.ox.ac.uk to find out more.
