   Hull Compact helps city children develop their potential and contribute to the quality of the workforce. Our mentoring scheme also supports children and young

   people in East Yorkshire.

   We set certain goals for students:

   We also offer projects and schemes to help raise pupils' aspirations

   Successful Compact students - or 'achievers' - benefit from:

•    A Compact graduate certificate and may be eligible to receive CASH for showing improvements in their GCSE results.

   Our history

  Hull Compact was formed to create links between schools and businesses. We started in 1988, working with eight secondary schools and 33 companies. The scheme grew quickly and by1991 all 16 secondary schools in Hull had joined, along with two special schools and four colleges. A fifth college, Bishop Burton, later joined as well.

    Successes

   Between 1989 and 1998 we saw an improvement in pupils achieving their goals, from 40% to 60%.  Remarkably, the number of pupils staying on in full time education in Hull has risen from 18% in 1988 to 69% in 2004.

   Around 25,000 students in years 10 and 11 have taken part in the scheme. More than half have received Compact Graduate Certificates and many have gone on to college and later   university, helped by the award scheme.

   Our structure

   Hull Compact is overseen by a board of governors who have senior roles in local education and business. The board is chaired by Mr Tony Clark and administered by the Director Mr David Bull.

   We are a registered company (number 2339437) and a registered charity (number 702186).

    Funding

    From the start, Reckitt and Colman (now Reckitt Benckiser) have given us strong support. They provided the major funding, along with three other companies, and provided us wth accomodation and services in the early days.

    Since 1989 Compact has awarded grants to school leavers and since 1998, university bursaries to needy college leavers. In 2010, 517 students received Achievement Awards and 15 students received University Bursaries. The total value of Awards in 2010 was over £63,000 and since 1989, Compact's Sponsors have provided over £1.5 million  to motivate and sponsor Hull students.
