Researchers at the University of Bristol revealed that more than three-quarters (76%) of children who attend a summer school are awarded places at a leading university, compared with just over half (55%) of children with a similar academic and social background who did not apply for a summer school place.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.suttontrust.com/newsarchive/competitive-edge/|title=Sutton Trust|date=13 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2012/jan/18/summer-school-chance-university-place|title=Summer schools lead to better chance of top university place, says study|author=Jeevan Vasagar|work=The Guardian|date=18 January 2012}}</ref>
