Are you a parent or guardian who would like to find out more about IntoUniversity?
IntoUniversity has six centres around London, in North Kensington, Lambeth, Brent, Bow, Hackney and Haringey. We'll be launching a new centre in Nottingham in Autumn 2011.
We provide a quiet, safe and stimulating classroom environment for children and young people to do their homework or get advice on their future.
Before you contact us
If you would like to register a child with IntoUniversity, please first think about the following questions:
- Is the child or young person ‘looked-after’?
- Is the child or young person entitled to free school meals?
- Is the child or young person living in social housing?
If the answer to any of these questions is YES, please get in touch with your nearest centre to discuss the support we can provide. You can find the contact details for all our centres here.
Details about our IntoUniversity programme can be found here.
Parents' Evenings
We run Parents’ Evenings where you can find out more about your child's progress at IntoUniversity.
Details of these can be found on the pages for North Kensington, Lambeth, Brent, Bow, Haringey and Hackney.
Academic Support
We run Academic Support sessions most days after school.
At the sessions, your child can receive help with their homework or advice and guidance on GCSE, A-Level and university choices. We also run specific workshops on career choices and skills.

Mentoring
If your child has been visiting the Academic Support sessions regularly, she/he may be able to have an IntoUniversity mentor. Our mentors are either students at university, or professionals, and their aim is to help your child with school work, career choices and social skills.
If your child is offered the opportunity to have a mentor, you will be contacted immediately, and will be asked to meet with staff at the centre to ensure that you are happy with the decision.
