Exciting times for NSF, read below to find out a little more about our next steps ;) and our new CEO!

[Bonas MacFarlane @BonasMacFarlane]

@nextstepfoundEd was originally created by Bonas MacFarlane in 2016 as the University Preparation Programme. Seeing in the first cohort in 2017!
This year, the team welcomes a new CEO and here he tells us a bit about himself & the charity’s mission!

@BarristerSecret Hi, @nextstepfoundEd delivers a university preparation programme for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them access the most selective universities, with a specific track & support for law. https://t.co/2unas1C0uV

[Mary Curnock Cook @MaryCurnockCook]

Wow - powerful suggestion from @pathik10 that the word (and accepted meanings) 'equality' is replaced by 'equity', and 'inclusion' by 'belonging' (so that 'EDI' becomes 'EDB'). His arguments are really worth getting your head around!

"Disadvantage doesn’t stop at 16, and for young people without the support at home, this is the crucial time that defines their later careers."
We help students from disadvantaged backgrounds in accessing the very best in HE.

Huge congrats to @_higgins_j and @DamarisOzanne for getting our 60+ #FreeSchoolMeals and #wideningparticipation students set up for the programme’s 5th cohort

Week 3 of the 2021 @nextstepfoundEd University Preparation Programme - we believe a fundamental reason for our student’s consistently high acceptance rates to selective universities is a product of starting preparation early.

Many thanks to Sam Randalls and @drphilippogge from @ucl for speaking and for being such strong supporters of our programme over the last few years.

Our 2020 cohort’s last extension lecture. Students will now discuss in small group seminars. It is in such sessions that they learn the skills to navigate academic interviews but, more importantly, how to engage in intellectual discussion and improve thinking patterns.

[nextstepfoundation @nextstepfoundEd]

Astonishing. Doing all we can to give our #freeschoolmeal and #wideningparticipation students the very best chance to perform at their potential #oxbridgeinterview in a few weeks’ time. Huge thanks to @DamarisOzanne for organising mock interviews for them all

[nextstepfoundation @nextstepfoundEd]

The challenge for students from #freeschoolmeal and #wideningparticipation backgrounds doesn’t stop once a student is accepted at a top university - our Alumni Network supports students beyond our University Preparation Programme. Thank you to ⁦@haleighdiana⁩ for Tuesday!

[nextstepfoundation @nextstepfoundEd]

@golding57 @_higgins_j @MarcusRashford Absolutely. Forward always. Well keep trying to do our bit for those applying to university to help them get where they deserve.

[nextstepfoundation @nextstepfoundEd]

Such a pleasure to catch up with this young man from our very first cohort yesterday. Now in his third year @LSEnews Mohamed was so committed to the programme and it was clear the potential he had. #wideningparticipation #FreeSchoolMeals #university
