Further information:

The National Tutoring Programme (NTP) aims to support schools in providing a sustained response to the coronavirus pandemic and to provide a longer-term contribution to closing the attainment gap.

The NTP will do this by making high-quality tutoring available to schools to help disadvantaged pupils, through two pillars:

NTP Tuition Partners

Through Tuition Partners, delivered by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), schools will be able to access tutoring from an accredited tutoring provider which has passed a set of rigorous quality benchmarks.

A list of approved Tuition Partners will be announced at the end of October 2020. From this point onwards, schools will be able to choose and contact the organisation they would like to receive tutoring from, from the list of approved providers. Tutoring will be subsidised, so that schools will be able to purchase tutoring from approved Tuition Partners at a 75% reduction of their standard cost.

NTP Academic Mentors

Through NTP Academic Mentors, delivered by Teach First, trained graduates will be employed by schools in the most disadvantaged areas to provide intensive support to their pupils. Academic Mentors will provide support tailored to their school, this might include subject-specific work (both one-to-one and in small-groups), revision lessons, or additional support for those shielding or not in school.

How to stay in touch
