We launched ‘Tutor Trust Bradford’ in time for the academic year 2021-2022 in partnership with the University of Bradford and Morrisons Foundation.  Bradford will be Tutor Trust’s fourth major city in the North of England, and in particular will build on our successful, six-year track record in neighbouring Leeds. 

Bradford is the sixth largest city in England and one of the most diverse, and it is also Britain’s youngest city in terms of the size of its school-age population.  We are excited about bringing our mission of ‘transforming lives through tutoring’ to Bradford.  

During 2020-21, we delivered purely online work with Bradford schools as a pilot, serving 375 pupils across ten primary and secondary schools.  Now, we will start face-to-face tutoring with pupils in Bradford schools, which is what they say they really want and need. 

We are hugely grateful to Morrisons Foundation for providing the funding we need to launch Tutor Trust in Bradford, where the company is headquartered.  One of the Foundation’s Trustees, Guy Mason, commented: 

"The pandemic has undoubtedly made it harder to bridge the attainment gap and we want to do all we can to support young people in the Foundation's home of Bradford. We are delighted to partner with Tutor Trust, who have an impressive track record of transforming young lives through tutoring. This donation promises to deliver a positive impact on pupils across the City in core subject areas. We're confident it will prove to have long-lasting benefits across Bradford."

We are grateful to Anne-Marie Canning MBE, Independent Chair of the Opportunity Area Board, and the OA team for their advice and support so far and we look forward to working with them even more closely.

We are also grateful to the Leader and Chief Executive of Bradford City Council, Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe and Kersten England respectively, for their early enthusiasm for Tutor Trust, and to Louise Banahene MBE, Head of Educational Engagement at the University of Leeds, for introducing us to them.  

And we are delighted to be working with the University of Bradford to recruit students and recent graduates as tutors.
