From primary school to university, attainment and progression gaps remain deeply entrenched.

We work with universities to address these gaps at each stage through our Peer to Peer, UniCoach, and LifeCycle programmes.

Universities partner with CoachBright to do three things:

  1. Access & Attainment: Improve attainment and raise aspirations in local schools through structured academic coaching.

  2. Student Engagement: Develop their undergraduates as trained and accredited coaches whilst volunteering to support pupils in local schools.

  3. Continuation & Awarding Gaps: Strengthen their students’ sense of belonging, confidence, and academic resilience through receiving professional one-to-one coaching.

Get in touch with team@coachbright.org if you want to learn more about our university partnerships and placement opportunities.

Finding out about CoachBright’s work felt like finding a ‘soulmate’ in the sector - our values and ambitions completely aligned.

This is one of the best partnerships we’ve
developed. CoachBright delivers where we can’t, and we both
want the same outcomes for young people.

Tackling one of society’s biggest social problems, CoachBright helps pupils improve their attitude, work ethic and academic performance which ultimately transforms their life chances.

At the University of Exeter, we are delighted to support their important work and look forward to seeing this expand further in the coming years.
— Sir Steve Smith, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of the University of Exeter

With thanks to all our brilliant university partners across the country…
