Our 2021 Impact Report Download our 2021 Impact Report here We are delighted to present our special 2021 10th anniversary Impact Report, which showcases the remarkable work our tutors, partnering with schools across Greater Manchester, Leeds-Bradford and Merseyside, have done to support pupils over the past ten years. From our first tutoring session at Whalley Range 11-18 High School back in 2012, we have now supported over 20,000 pupils in more than 500 schools, and have recruited and trained more than 3,000 tutors. In 2016/17, our randomised control trial provided us with gold-standard evidence that our model works, and we are delighted to have been able, with the support of funders and partners, to scale up our work considerably as a Tuition Partner of the National Tutoring Programme. This report also tells the story of 2020/21, which was a year of remarkable growth in the face of challenges for Tutor Trust. Despite the ongoing disruptions of Covid-19, we worked with 6,303 pupils in 215 schools, which is more than double the number of pupils we have supported in any previous academic year. 61% of the pupils we worked with were disadvantaged, and 18% had special educational needs or disabilities. We also recruited more new tutors than ever before, with 661 tutors passing interview and 574 of these completing all training and onboarding requirements. Our tutors are very positive about their experience with us, with 98% describing their experience of working with Tutor Trust as ‘excellent’ or ‘good.’ The report highlights our pupils’, tutors’ and schools’ resilience during the pandemic - a time in which we were needed more than ever, but which posed continual challenges. Our school partners were grateful for the support our tutors provided to pupils, with 94% of partners agreeing that they would recommend us to another school. We can now offer schools both face-to-face and online provision, and are confident that both are of equally high quality, with 95% of tutors observed delivering good or outstanding tutoring. Due to the cancellation of SATs and the change in the GCSE awarding system for the second year running, we have chosen not to focus the report around pupil outcomes data, as we do not believe it is comparable with previous years. However, we are delighted that 72% of our Year 11 pupils received a GCSE Grade 4 or above in their tutoring subject. We have continued to invest in the future, building new, scalable and robust technology platforms and expanding our staff team and board. And, as we look forward, we are developing new partnerships to ensure that we can support the needs of the whole child. Our pioneering Right Angle partnership, which combines tutoring with counselling from our sister charity TLC: Talk, Listen, Change, has now been joined by a new partnership with The Prince’s Trust, in which pupils receive both tutoring and life skills. We thank all schools, funders, partners and tutors for their support over the past ten years, and hope you will continue to support us on our journey.
