Widening Participation
Widening Participation Programme
Our unmatched Widening Participation Programme allows those who cannot pay increased access to our webinars. This allows those from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate fully, ensuring that finances do not become a barrier to accessing education.
Our free WhatsApp support groups, of which we have thousands of students and parents, include updates on Hot Topics, medically related news, and interactive discussions and teaching. To ensure that you do not feel overwhelmed, we open these groups at specific times during the week. Our Social Media channels, including Instagram and Facebook, are accessible to all.
You can also check out our Free Resources folder.
Our criteria to be in our Widening Participation program:
- In the care of a local authority
- The student currently has free school meals

Any Year 12 or 13 UK student must meet one of the above criteria to be eligible for our WP program.
