Is Get Set for you?

This summer school is for students who are currently in Year 12 or equivalent and will be under the age of 18 at the end of July 2025. To join us you must also meet one of the following eligibility criteria:

  • Live in a postcode where participation in higher education has traditionally been low. Use our online postcode checker to see if you are eligible.
  • Be Black, Asian or from an ethnically diverse background.
  • Be in local authority care or have previous experience of being in care.

Please use the postcode checker below to see if you live in an area where participation in higher education has traditionally been low. We look at three measures (POLAR 4, IMD, TUNDRA) and your postcode must be classified as Quintile 1 for one of these.

 

Result:Unclassified

What Does This Mean:

This means that your postcode:

  • has been assessed as a non-residential property - such as a hotel, small business park or school, or
  • has been assessed as a communal establishment - such as a hospital, prison or army base, or
  • could not be matched to all the postcode datasets.

This means that your eligibility cannot be calculated. Please complete our registration/application form using the link below, and we'll undertake further checks for you to assess your eligibility.

Result:Error

What Does This Mean:

The postcode you have submitted has not been found in our database. This is likely to be because the data you have submitted does not conform to usual postcode conventions. Please check that you have inputted it correctly. If the postcode is still correct, please complete our registration/application form using the link below and we'll undertake further checks for you to assess your eligibility.

Result:Yes

What Does This Mean:

This means that the area in which you live is considered to be an area with low progression to Higher Education. Provided you will be at the end of year 12 in July 2025, you are highly likely to meet our eligibility criteria to join our Get Set online summer school.

Result:No

What Does This Mean:

Sorry, it doesn’t look like your postcode falls within the criteria to take part in Get Set 2025. 

You may still be eligible to attend Get Set 2025 if you also meet the other criteria listed above.
