The National Tutoring Programme for 2023/2024 Register interest for Primary school tuition Register interest for Secondary school tuition We’re proud to be a Tuition Partner of the National Tutoring Programme for the fourth year running. This means that all schools in Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and Merseyside once again have the option to access our high-quality tuition at a much-reduced rate. In 2023/2024, NTP funding will cover 50% of the cost of tuition. This is down from 60% in 2022/2023. However, we have pledged to keep the costs of our tutoring the same this academic year, meaning that there are no additional costs for our partner schools in 2023/2024. What will the cost of tutoring be for my school? Using the NTP subsidies for tutoring on a 1:3 ratio, a block of 15 hours of tutoring in either Maths, English or Science will cost schools just £107.50 per pupil for the full programme. How it works in mainstream schools: The DfE gives mainstream schools £67.50 per Pupil Premium-eligible pupil. We charge £43 per hour of tuition delivered (£14.33 per hour per pupil if there are 3 pupils in the group) The NTP subsidy covers 50% of the cost, up to a maximum of £9 per pupil per hour. For example, for 15 hours of tuition for 15 pupils in groups of 3, we will charge the school £3225, which costs the school only £1,613 after using the NTP subsidy.

These young people already face more challenges than their classmates, including having more complex needs and learning gaps due to missing school. They may benefit from tuition not only as a confidence boost but also because of the more flexible and personal approach offered by 1:1 tuition.

As the tuition cost is £43 per hour (or £35 per hour for Tutoring Plus pupils), on a 1:1 and 1:2 basis the 50% subsidy does not apply to the full cost with only the first £18 per hour per pupil being subsidised. 2 The funding is capped at £23.50 per hour per pupil in a non-mainstream school based on a full cost per hour of £47. As our tuition cost is £35 per hour for Tutoring Plus pupils, the 50% subsidy applies to the full cost. Manage Cookie Preferences
