Guidance on new tutoring programme published

Education Endowment Foundation has published a guide to help school leaders and staff decide how to use the newly announced tutoring funding to best support their pupils catch up on missed schooling.

It provides advice on support strategies schools can use in deciding how to support pupils, including intervention programmes, extra teaching capacity, access to technology or summer schools.

Created through a collaboration between the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), Sutton Trust, Impetus and Nesta, with support from the Department for Education and funders including KPMG Foundation, the National Tutoring Programme will give schools the resources they need to address missed learning through two strands:
 
In NTP Partners, schools will be able to access heavily subsided tuition from an approved list of tuition partners. These organisations – who will all be subject to quality and evaluation standards - will be given support and funding to reach many more disadvantaged pupils.

In NTP Coaches, trained graduates will by employed by schools in the most disadvantaged areas to provide intensive catch-up support to their pupils, allowing teachers in these schools to focus on their classrooms.

The guidance also includes a 'Frequently Asked Questions' page in relation to the National Tutoring Programme.
