In addition to their existing link areas, Lincoln also offers bespoke and local outreach in the North East of England. 

Outreach programmes

At Lincoln College we are committed to reaching students from all backgrounds, and demonstrate that Lincoln is a diverse, inclusive, and accessible community. We are keen to support young people make informed choices about Oxford and higher education.

As part of the University’s Regionalisation Scheme, each Oxford College focuses their outreach work on particular local authorities across the UK. Lincoln College primarily works with schools and colleges in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. We work in partnership with Magdalen College and St Edmund Hall as part of Oxford for East Midlands. We also work as a project partner of Oxford for North East as part of a restructuring of outreach at the University of Oxford.

Our general outreach includes Oxford Taster Days, which is the opportunity for schools to bring groups of students to visit Oxford with a selection of IAG, tours, lunch, and workshops. This is generally for Years 9-12 but can be adapted to other year groups. We also offer sessions in schools covering HE generally, A-level choices, Oxbridge IAG, and Interview Workshops. We are also proud to partner with Brilliant Club and Target Oxbridge across the year.

We also manage more systematic programmes, outlined below.

Pathfinders

Pathfinders is a three-year, continuous contact programme for bright and enthusiastic pupils eligible for free school meals in the past six years. Pathfinders works with pupils from our link regions in the East Midlands, particularly Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire.

NextGen

This is a sustained contact programme that we run in collaboration with St Edmund Hall and Magdalen, the other members of the Oxford for East Midlands outreach consortium. The programme offers information, advice, and guidance, for a group of schools from the East Midlands, including Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, our direct link authorities.

This programme runs from Year 10 students and grow across the years as we take students right through to applying in Year 13.

Lincoln Study Days

We run several of these, each subject themed. Participants receive a programme based off a carousel of sessions including study skills, academic lectures, IAG, tutorials, and refined based on feedback from last year.

Teacher Conference

We run an event for state school teachers every year and this was the first year we held it in December. This allows teachers to find out about, and experience some of Oxford, as well as a chance to network. This way they can support their students to make competitive applications.
