What a fantastic evening with Sheffield Children's University representing The Elephant Group congratulating all the amazing young people on their extra curricular achievements! Thanks to my partner in certificate distribution Kate Josephs CEO of Sheffield City Council



Great news from UCAS Corporate -Free UCAS application for students who have been in receipt of free school meals within the last 6 years. -Transparency on course conditions by publishing average entry grades so students can see historic applicants' grades for specific courses

May is flying by 🌼! This week: a metacognition and revision session for Y13s at Frances Bardsley School 📝 and an insightful webinar from Palantir on their tech Summer Bootcamp (apps open now for our EA students!). Stay tuned next week for Summer Academy news… 👀 Matt Jones



The people we speak to are as concerned about #socialmobility as we are. This The Sutton Trust report shows the extent to which it is a significant concern to the British population. We believe top achieving students should go to top universities regardless of their circumstances!

Our Tech stream provides Elephant Access students with high quality opportunities because we know talent is everywhere but opportunity is not. Read more about the opportunity gap in tech on my blog for @techcharterUK 👇🏻

We were delighted to chat to Phil Latham of Endeavour Academies about the barriers to attainment in the northeast. Read more: linkedin.com/pulse/access-e… Jayne Taylor

Extremely proud and privileged of the The Elephant Group to be shortlisted for the Student Social Mobility Impact Award. Huge thank you to our fantastic CEO Jayne Taylor and our ‘Herd’ of amazing staff for changing the lives of so many young people across the UK.


Labour’s #BridgetPhillipson : ‘I will help working-class pupils defy the odds to succeed – just as I did’ | Bridget Phillipson. This is precisely why the The Elephant Group was founded! Talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Neither does The Elephant Group! That’s why we set up our charity - to work nationally with teachers, schools and universities to ensure #FairAccess to selective universities for all students, regardless of their background. #TalentIsEverywhere

All the best to our incredible Elephant Access students whatever happens today we’re proud of you 🙌🏻
