SERC’s commitment to widening access to and participation in education is embedded in our College Development Plan. We aim to provide programmes that promote wider engagement, especially targetting hard-to-reach learners, and delivering progression to higher-level courses.

SERC aims to:

• Provide appropriate support for those within the SERC catchment area who fall within the Access to Success target groups to progress in the long-term towards higher education.
• Respond to the changing needs of the target groups through review and evaluation of strategies and data.
• Continue to promote suitable progression routes towards higher education.
