Mission

From our very beginnings in 1826, MyAV范 was founded to be open to all, irrespective of religion, race and background.

Nearly 200 years later, MyAV范 continues to be at the forefront with its work on social mobility and education. MyAV范 has one of the largest WP operations in the country. Our work is innovative, evidence-led and shapes national direction, working at all levels from primary through to mature students returning to education.

We work with:

Students

  • Primary: introducing the idea of higher education at an early age, leveling the playing field of aspiration and expectation.听
  • Secondary: creating cohorts of engaged learners. Supporting their attainment and learning skills, and advising them of their study options and pathways.
  • Prospective university students: advice and guidance about university applications, and the realities of university life and study. Helping students to see that they belong at a highly selective university like MyAV范.听
