Dear Higher Education Funding Council for England,

I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

In 2010, OFFA commissioned HEFCE to do some research for a report they did entitled "What more can be done to widen access to highly selective Universities?" Your research was published in Annex C of OFFA's report (pp. 94-113) and can be accessed here: http://www.offa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Report-on-access-to-highly-selective-universities.pdf.

Amongst other things, your research outlined differences in the University participation rate of Polar 2 Quintile 5 young people relative to that of Polar 2 Quintile 1 + Quintile 2 young people, broken down by the entry tariff group ("higher", "medium" or "lower") of the Universities they were admitted to, for the years 1994-2010 (See Figure 12, P. 112).

I am writing to request in Excel spreadsheet format, the actual data which was used to make the graph in Figure 12, namely:

(1) The overall number of participants from Polar 2 Quintiles (a) 5, (b) 4, (c) 3, (d) 2 and (e) 1; broken down for each into (a) higher, (b) medium and (c) lower entry tariff Universities.

(2) I would like this data for the years shown in Figure 12 (94:95 through to 09:10). However, if possible I would also like the same data updated beyond 2010, for all the years leading up to the latest academic year for which data is currently available.

Yours faithfully,

Thomas Stephens.
