Looked After Children The caring attitude shown by two tutors working with a Looked After Child has helped him gain confidence, improve his behaviour and encourage his learning. Paul Anderson, Head teacher, Hurst Knoll St. James CE Primary School The Tutor Trust are currently working with a large number of Looked After Children ranging from Year 5 to Year 11 in Greater Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. Referrals can be made by schools or via Virtual School Teams. We have successful ongoing relationships with a number of Virtual School Teams, including Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside. We can provide tuition in the school (either during or after the school day) or in the home, depending on what best suits the individual student. Please bear in mind that during tuition, a responsible adult must be nearby at all times for safeguarding reasons. A carer does not need to sit in on tuition sessions if they take place in the home, but they must be in the house. We are always keen to ensure that our tutors are as prepared as possible for working with Looked After Children. We provide regular training and CPD for those tutors engaged in this work and have a full time dedicated Director of Alternative Provision for work with vulnerable children. Our tutors are academic high flyers and inspirational role models and receive a high level of training from us.
