The Higher Education Progression Partnership South Yorkshire (HeppSY) is part of the Uni Connect Programme (UCP), funded by the Office for Students. The main focus of Uni Connect is to provide targeted higher education outreach to young people in Years 9 to 13 living in particular geographic areas. From November 2017 to 2023, HeppSY conducted an annual Learner Survey to evaluate the students’ understanding of higher education, their expectations, and important factors related to their academic performance and choices. HeppSY evaluators consistently employed gap analysis method to analyse the learner survey data and to identify: • changes in outcomes between different academic year; • gaps of specific learning outcomes between different demographic groups; • and the cold spots (areas where there is no outreach delivery). Annual partnership reports provide insights from the analysis of survey data to inform what worked and what more needs to be done. They are valuable tools for strategic planning for HeppSY interventions.
