Common use of Milestone Targets Clause in Contracts

Milestone Targets. Goldsmiths already recruits strongly from state schools and amongst students from backgrounds which are typically under-represented in higher education. As a result we feel it would be appropriate for us to set milestones which aim to consolidate our current levels of recruitment from state schools, from social groups IV-VII and from low participation neighbourhoods. We feel that this is reasonable as these groups are the most vulnerable to any detrimental effects of an increase in fees. We will use our bursaries to offset the threat of economic hardship to students and encourage applications by developing our outreach and widening participation activities. In addition, the College will work with Goldsmiths Students’ Union, to provide support for better levels of retention amongst all students, but particularly widening participation entrants. These milestones are based on HEFCE performance indicators.
