OUR IMPACT

We are committed to improving outcomes for young people.  

Several studies, including university-led external evaluations, have shown that our programme has a significant positive impact on young people's engagement with learning and career readiness.

The Future Frontiers programme is intended to be a journey of discovery for young people.

 

That’s exactly what Damola experienced, with the support of her Axis Capital coach Sophinne.

​

"Before I did the Future Frontiers programme I didn’t really know what I was going to do with myself after GCSEs.

​

Now I have a more solid knowledge of what I want to do after GCSEs, and I feel a lot more motivated at school because I know what I want to do with myself in the future."

READ OUR EXPLORATORY ADMINISTRATIVE DATA RESEARCH  REPORT

This year we partnered with MIME Consulting to access historic administrative data from the Department for Education’s National Pupil Database, aiming to explore the post-16 trajectories of young people aged 16 to 19 in London. This report presents an exploratory analysis based on this data, comparing the destinations between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students.

BY ACCESSING PERSON LEVEL NATIONAL PUPIL DATABASE DATA THROUGH THE ONS SECURE RESEARCH SERVICE, THIS RESEARCH GIVES FUTURE FRONTIERS THE ABILITY TO TRACK A LARGE COHORT OF PUPILS FROM YEAR 11 THROUGH EACH YEAR OF THEIR POST-16 EDUCATION, PROVIDING A MUCH CLEARER VIEW OF HOW SPECIFIC PUPIL GROUPS PROGRESS THROUGH QUALIFICATION LEVELS THAN WOULD BE POSSIBLE FROM PUBLIC DATA.
