A full breakdown using multiple -widening participation measures are as follows .
Please note that POLAR 4 has been used here as University Widening Participation teams are required to use this targeting measure for their Access and Participation Plans *. The HEAT database returns three Indices of Deprivation indicators for each postcode : IMD ( index of multiple deprivation ), EST ( education , skills and training deprivation ) and IDACI ( income deprivation affecting children ).
The average observed young participation rate into Higher Education across all analysed postcodes is 17 %. The most current young participation rate for England , based upon National Statistics ** is 50.2 %. Please note the methods to arrive at the average for young participation rates differ to National Statistics .
NB : Where comparative percentages do not add up to 100 % this is for 3 reasons :
1 . Young people skipped the question .
2 . There were " other " options that have not been expressed on this list . We have included comments young people left in our ndings summaries .
3 . We have rounded percentages up / down .
* Please note that POLAR 4 Quintile 1 & 2 learners also include UniConnect target learners . This results in a different total from the table above which speci cally outlines UniConnect target learners and Outreach Hub learners . ** https :// assets . publishing . service . gov . uk / government / uploads / system / uploads / attachment _ data / le / 843542 / Publication _ HEIPR 1718 . pdf
