More about us...


In 2005 a review across all of Scotland’s colleges and universities was undertaken to establish how young people in Scotland were accessing learning opportunities after school. In particular, the study focussed on young people and adults who traditionally didn’t go on to study at either college or university.

The Learning for All report was produced and triggered the drive to widen access to Further and Higher Education opportunities for everyone. From this report grew various programmes to improve opportunities including the four schools access programme:


             ASPIRENorth                       FOCUSWest                        LEAPS                         LIFT OFF 

In 2010 these four schools programme were brought together under the banner of the Scottish Funding Council’s Schools for Higher Education Programme, SHEP.
