One Degree of change.
One lifetime of possibilities

“They work in close alignment with the school and offer the boys a structured, fun programme that boosts their exam performance. This year, there was a clear step up from the boys who were involved in 1D as exam season approached.”

“Of all the charities I have worked with, One Degree makes the most direct and measurable impact.”

“My students are now more attentive, considerate and, for the first time, are fully focused in their exams.”

“Mentoring for One Degree is fun and rewarding. An emotional journey seeing what the students go through.”

“Since 2009 we have constantly achieved a 35-40% improvement in grades. In 2013, this meant a transformation from a predicted pass rate of 25% to an actual pass rate of 65% and in 2016 and 2017 actual pass rates of 77% and 70% respectively. This improvement was down to an average attendance of 95% on our programme. After a few sessions, our students want to be there.”

“You have really transformed my life and my relationships with people. I feel like I have got two families now.”

“As Maths teachers, we noted an increased engagement from the students involved in One Degree. Students who had never before considered themselves as likely candidates for GCSE success now realised that it was within reach.”
