My school has pupils who definitely need some tutoring but the percentage of them who are eligible to receive Pupil Premium is quite low. Is this a problem?

It might be, but we do try to be flexible. In line with our goals as a charity, we request that 75% of the cohort are either eligible to receive Pupil Premium, are Cared for Children, or are in Alternative Provision or at risk of exclusion. For schools primarily serving low-income communities there is more flexibility around this requirement.

We respect the fact that teachers in school are best placed to decide which pupils both need tutoring AND will engage positively with our tutors. We know that the continued impact of the pandemic means that there are a broader range of pupils who may need additional support.

Please talk to us about which pupils you would like to receive tutoring and we can take it from there.
