Sessions attended
Implementation 
• A menu system of 22 available sessions gave students choice in how they developed themselves across the 
three areas. 
• Repetition of sessions across the year allowed students to control how and when they attend.  
• 77 sessions were delivered totalling 101 hours of delivery by a team of specialist staff.
• There were 389 attendances and the programme was utilised by 90% of the pilot group.
Figure 2. Multiple attendances improve overall 
assignment marks.
Outcomes
• The SAGE programme exceeded all targets stated in our HEA Strategic Excellence.
• In particular, academic performance improved in excess of a grade boundary.
• Therefore, SAGE will be rolled out to all HE students within Hartpury in the next academic year. 
• This forms the basis of a new Achievement & Success Centre at Hartpury College overseen by a specialist 
team.
Figure 1. A single SAGE attendance is effective in improving targeted skills
Figure 3. Changes in academic confidence across the 
year. 
Students who attended two or more career development sessions had 5.5% higher scores for employability 
related traits. 
Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the HEA for supporting a pilot of this initiative. In addition, this would not have been possible without the 
support of Hartpury staff who delivered sessions and contributed through the SAGE committee.
