Information on grant funding directly to schools to support provision of School-Led tutoring.
School-Led tutoring gives more flexibility for schools to use resources to best meet the needs of their pupils. This can be achieved by using internal staff such as teachers or teaching assistants, external staff such as supply or returning teachers, or private tutors.
Tuition sessions are delivered one-to-one or in small groups (recommended ratio of 1:3,maximum 1:6). Evidence demonstrates that small group tuition has greater outcomes for pupils. Schools should organise tutoring to take place at a time that will encourage high attendance from pupils and scheduled so that they do not miss specialist support or core curriculum. The school is also able to decide the subjects the tutoring is delivered in to ensure the greatest impact on its pupils.

The school is also able to decide the subjects the tutoring is delivered in to ensure the greatest impact on its pupils. Some internal staff will be required to complete a free, online training course developed and delivered by Education Development Trust before they can begin tutoring. This applies to staff without QTS, with the exception of non-QTS teachers who have at least two years’ experience in the subject and phase in which they wish to tutor in. All Teaching Assistants must complete the online training.
Internal staff with QTS can begin tutoring from September, along with external tutors. A shorter course in best tutoring practice will be available for internal staff with QTS and we strongly recommend teachers complete this once the training becomes available.
