Solihull Sixth Form College has strengthened its relationship with Coventry University by reaffirming its commitment to the Phoenix Partnership and this week a representative from the University came into College to present a plaque, ratifying the partnership.
Danny North from the Student Recruitment and Admissions team at Coventry University visited Principal Martin Sullivan on campus to formally welcome the College to the partnership, which aims to encourage young people with no family history of progressing to Higher Education to carry onto university.
Being part of this scheme will enable our learners to access a range of benefits including priority booking and free travel to and from Coventry University events such as open days and “Discover” taster sessions. There is also the possibility of access to Coventry University’s Lancaster Library and even the chance of receiving reduced offers for undergraduate courses.
College Principal Martin Sullivan commented:
“I was delighted to meet Danny North in College this week and accept a plaque to display in College that demonstrates our commitment to working closely with Coventry University. We typically get between 70-90 students progressing to Coventry University each year, so it is a popular destination. We are always looking for ways support those young people with barriers to Higher Education progression and this partnership should help us to do that.”
Danny North, Regional Student Recruitment Specialist at Coventry University, added:
“It’s great to have Solihull Sixth Form College onboard as a proud Phoenix Partner. We are looking forward to working together and helping students with their transition into higher education.”
