White Working Class Males in British Higher Education
As Figure 20 shows below , leavers who are classed as being disadvantaged are proportionally less likely to go to a top third HEI . The differences between disadvantaged and other students tends to be narrower in areas where overall progression to HE after Level 3 is relatively low . Figures were suppressed in the case of Portsmouth due to data protection because of the small cohort size .

The underlying data for the Level 3 destinations tables in 2013 / 14 at the institutional level includes a breakdown by ethnic groups for 34 schools and colleges across the four local authority areas . The table below calculates the aggregate numbers and rates for all destinations recorded for white ethnic background students , based on the institutional level figures . Southampton has proportionally more non-white students across local schools and colleges included in the data compared to other areas .
