We are delighted to share our 2025 Impact Report with you. We are so proud with the work we have done this past academic year, and we hope this report showcases the deep impact we have made in the regions we serve.

Over the past academic year:

  • We partnered with 183 educational settings to support 5,488 pupils delivered by 285 tutors
  • 91% of our tutees were part of our target population, meaning they were eligible for Pupil Premium funding or attending a school with a high Pupil Premium percentage. This also includes those in our Tutoring Plus programme, identified as vulnerable by their school.
  • Our specialist Tutoring Plus programme supported 543 young people, marking a 185% increase over the past two years
  • Pupils made significant progress in their SATs, answering an additional 20 percentage points of questions correctly in their reading SATs, and 25 percentage points in their maths SATs, after receiving tutoring
  • Year 11 pupils receiving at least 10 hours of tutoring made a whole grade of progress in Maths and Science, and 0.7 grade progress in English
  • We found that our tutoring was reducing the attainment gap in the local authorities we work in, with disadvantaged pupils who received tutoring outperforming their disadvantaged peers who did not
  • The pupils we worked with who had SEND made much greater progress than those who didn’t receive tutoring. The gap between pupils with SEND and their non-SEND peers receiving a pass at GCSEs is 41%, but for SEND pupils receiving Tutor Trust tutoring, this gap is just 23%.
  • 97% of our school partners said they would recommend us to another school or college

We also expanded and developed our offer to the young people we support:

  • We supported pupils resitting their GCSE’s finding that pupils were passing at a higher rate than seen nationally
  • We expanded our work to Tees Valley and supported over 500 young people across 16 primary schools
  • We launched a partnership with the University of Salford, which, through a unique, directly funded project, enabled us to recruit Salford students to deliver high-quality tutoring for over 400 young people across 15 primary schools in Salford
  • We took part of in an external evaluation looking at how tutoring impacts school attendance. This showed that our programme can play a role in improving school attendance and behaviour.
In the tutor sessions, it feels like a safe environment to feel free to answer questions and talk without feeling like you may get in trouble. Our tutor makes the sessions really enjoyable and does whatever is best for us, whether it takes a lot of time or not. Overall, it’s amazing to have the opportunity of it all.”

Looking ahead

We have developed a new strategy, and over the next three years, we aim to:

  • Broadening the reach of the organisation: over the next three years, we aim to grow our school partner base by 20% by 2028
  • Building new university partnerships: further embed tutoring into the student experience, creating future role models while supporting pupils to raise aspirations
  • Regional expansion: launch our programme in a new area by September 2027
  • Growing Tutoring Plus to develop our offer and create a dedicated strategy. ensuring it continues to meet the needs of the most vulnerable young people
  • Advocating for a long-term state-funded tuition programme: we will champion the case for tutoring to become a permanent fixture in the education system
