National Tutoring Programme Tutor Trust confirmed as Tuition Partner of the National Tutoring Programme – 2nd November 2020 Register interest here for Primary schools Register interest here for Secondary schools The whole team at Tutor Trust is thrilled that our ambitious proposal to the National Tutoring Programme has been agreed by the Education Endowment Foundation. This is because of the proven quality and impact of our services. From today, schools across Greater Manchester, Leeds/Bradford and Merseyside can access our high-quality tutoring service for a fraction of the usual cost. A block of 15 hours of tutoring in either Maths, English or Science will cost schools as little as £60 per pupil for the full programme. NB: Under the NTP rules, we cannot offer tutoring to schools outside Greater Manchester, Leeds/Bradford or Merseyside. For schools outside these areas, please contact an approved NTP provider in your town or city. WHAT WE OFFER We offer tutoring for Y5 and Y6 in Primary, and for Y7-11 in Secondary. We also have a specialist 1:1 tutoring service for LAC pupils, pupils in Alternative Provision and pupils at risk of exclusion; all of this work attracts the NTP subsidy. Tutoring will be delivered in blocks of 15 hours in one subject (Maths, English or Science). The tutoring can be face-to-face in school or online, and the online tutoring can be when the pupil is at home or in school. We will be as flexible as possible in working with your school. The NTP are requesting that most of the tutoring is delivered in small groups on a 1:3 tutor to pupil ratio. Tutoring can be 1:1 if it is for vulnerable learners such as LAC pupils or pupils in Alternative Provision. To achieve the purpose of the NTP and in line with our goals as a charity, we are asking schools that at least 80% of pupils nominated for tutoring are ‘disadvantaged’, namely Pupil Premium, Looked After, in Alternative Provision or at risk of exclusion. If you have any immediate questions, please consult our Frequently Asked Questions here. For Primary schools, we have a fun and engaging new package of tutoring called 'Puppies and Pirates'. The 'puppies' programme is 15 hours of English tutoring and the 'pirates' programme is 15 hours of Maths tutoring. It can be used with pupils in Year 5 and/or Year 6 and it was devised by the qualified teachers on our staff. The full content of the 'puppies and pirates' programme can be downloaded here. SCHOOLS! PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST We have already received record demand for our services, so we urge schools, Virtual School Teams and PRUs to contact us as soon as possible to discuss their tuition needs. In order to register your interest and start this conversation, please complete the short Google doc form via the buttons at the top or the bottom of this page. There is one form for Secondary and one form for Primary. Please also use these forms for tutoring for LAC and AP pupils. OUR SUBSIDISED CHARGES TO SCHOOLS As a charity, Tutor Trust has always charged a low cost to schools for our services. Under the National Tutoring Programme (NTP), these costs will be reduced significantly because of the Government subsidy. This takes effect from November 2nd 2020. Most tutoring under the NTP will be delivered in small groups, with one tutor working with 3 pupils at a time (whether face-to-face or online). For tutoring on a 1:3 ratio, a block of 15 hours of tutoring in either Maths, English or Science will cost schools just £60 per pupil for the full programme. This 1:3 ratio is the most cost-effective model for schools. Schools can use the extra ‘catch-up’ funding from Government (worth £80 per child this academic year) or their Pupil Premium budget to cover these modest costs. The cost is the same for online tutoring as it is for face-to-face tutoring. Below are the full details of the confirmed Tutor Trust costs for schools under the NTP: Secondary School Block of Tutoring (15 children for 15 hours in one subject) 1:3 - £910 (£60 per pupil) 1:2 (14 children) - £1,275 1:1 (per child)- £182 Primary School Block of Tutoring (12 children for 15 hours in one subject) 1:3 - £730 (£60 per pupil) 1:2 - £1,094 1:1 (per child) - £182 NEXT STEPS FOR SCHOOLS As stated above, we urge schools to complete a short Google Docs form if they are interested in using our tutors. As soon as we receive your completed form, a member of staff from the Tutor Trust office in your city will be in touch with you to have a conversation. Although the NTP allows us to ramp up our capacity significantly, the number of tutors is not infinite. We therefore operate a first come, first served policy. Please complete the short Google doc form via the buttons at the top or the bottom of this page. There is one form for Secondary and one form for Primary. Please also use these forms for tutoring for LAC and AP pupils. Thank you, and we look forward to partnering with your school!
