Targeting. SOAS have improved the methodology used for targeting at individual and school level. This includes a point scoring system for schools engaged in our raising aspirations and attainment programmes, and for students applying to our extension programmes focused on progression to Higher Education. School level targeting SOAS targets schools with most the most need. We use a basket of data to assess which schools we will work with. The data used to make assessments are:  Lower than national average '5 A*-C GCSEs incl. E&M  Low progression to HE (or in some cases low progression to 'selective' HE)  Higher than London average FSM % This data is used to create a formula in by which schools are assigned a priority number 1-4. Individual level targeting Students who wish to take part in our extended programme must complete an application form. This form, alongside a supporting letter from a school teacher and parental consent, provides the data necessary to effectively target students. The data used to make the assessment are socio-economic and attainment related:  HE participation quintile  First generation entrant  Eligibility for free school meals  Attainment at GCSE level compared to the average school performance  Experience of care This data is used to create a formula which takes these criteria into consideration to allocate points. Students with higher point scores are given priority.
