Teachers and advisers

Advancing Access

The University of Sheffield is a partner in Advancing Access, a collaboration between 24 leading universities working with schools and colleges to support students' progression to Russell Group universities. The partnership achieves this by providing free, high-quality resources for teachers and learners, online and offline Continuous Professional Development (CPD) conferences, CPD sessions delivered in schools and colleges and a regularly updated blog. It supports teachers and careers advisers to guide young people who are making their key stage 4, key stage 5 and university choices. 

The free CPD resources cover topics such as

• Writing effective UCAS references

• Supporting students with personal statements

• Post-16 and post-18 choices

• Helping students with interviews and additional admissions tests

• Understanding contextual admissions policies

You can access the online resources directly at the Advancing Access website
