Social mobility and narrowing the gap
An individual’s beliefs about their capabilities to achieve the goals
they set themselves. Self-efficacy beliefs determine how people feel,
think, motivate themselves and behave.
Development of self-efficacy (Bandura 1997)
- skills mastery
- vicarious experiences
- authentic encouragement
- emotional control
How do we deliver student engagement?
How do we deliver this to staff?

Narrowing the gap – Success for All
• BME hides mixed outcomes for different ethnicities
• BTEC students are still an opportunity for improvement
• Gender might be related to subjects studied
• Intersectionality reveals cumulative impact
• All students need interventions and experiences that are appropriate to their needs
• Aspiration and self-efficacy are key enablers
