‘Care experience’ is defined as any young person who has been under the care of their local authority at any point in their life. The H.E. 4 Me programme offers a range of events tailored specifically for learners with care experience. We offer learners the chance to discover the world of higher education and their future options, focusing on the support available exclusively to learners with care experience. We offer free events for Year 7 – 13s and their supporting adults, providing support throughout each stage of their secondary education and their time in care.

CHECK OUT THE GUIDEExciting Opportunity for Year 7 and 8 Learners with Care Experience!
We’re thrilled to invite Year 7 and 8 learners with care experience to an unforgettable Campus Experience Day at Aston University!
This is a fantastic opportunity for learners to step onto a university campus, explore world-class facilities, and gain an insider’s view of university life. They will learn about the unique support available for care leavers and hear firsthand from current students about their experiences – from living independently to managing academic life.
Throughout the day, learners will also engage in two interactive subject masterclasses in Biomedical Sciences and English, giving them the chance to explore new areas of learning that could spark their future interests. Whether they are considering university or simply curious about what’s out there, this event will show learners how higher education is within their reach – with support every step of the way.
