With respect to these measures, there is scope for improvement in relation to the widening access of young, full-time other, and part time first degree, undergraduate students from lower socio-economic groups (NS SEC 4-7) and LPNs respectively. However, a key target for CCCU will be to maintain this level of performance in relation to access and retention in a climate where higher fees are charged. The Agreement therefore includes a strong focus on maintaining both access and retention performance. Another measure of CCCU‟s relative success with regard to WP is the proportion of CCCU‟s WP premium relative to the overall HEFCE teaching grant. On this measure, in respect of funding for 2012/13, CCCU is proportionately better off than most institutions with regard to WP student success funding as a percentage of its recurrent grant. The performance of CCCU is one of the highest in the sector (9th out of all of all universities receiving WP premium funding). In making these WP calculations, HEFCE uses Polar2 Quintile 1 and 2 for young full- time students and Quintile 1 and 2 from the „qualified adults classification‟ for mature and part-time students.
