Abstract

It is well known that there are social inequalities in entry to Higher Education (HE) and that these are associated with poor academic performance amongst more disadvantaged young people. Pupils in this group tend to fall behind their peers at school and struggle to achieve the grades needed to enter Higher Education. However, attainment is not the whole story.
