COVID-19: Update to all education and childcare settings and providers by DfE

Accessing tutoring through the National Tutoring Programme (NTP) this academic year 2021/22

As we enter the second half of the spring term, this is a crucial time for those in years 11 and 13 who are taking public exams this summer, and tutoring offers high quality academic support. We encourage you to register for the NTP as soon as possible so your pupils can receive this help alongside pupils already receiving tutoring in other schools.

The Unity School Partnership Trust, a multi-academy trust have produced a blog on how they are taking advantage of all three routes of the NTP programme to benefit pupils.

Information on Tuition Partner eligibility

The NTP aims is to deliver a minimum of 65% of tuition to disadvantaged pupils in receipt of pupil premium, and this remains a key focus for the programme given the higher learning loss among many disadvantaged pupils. Schools are best placed to decide which pupils need additional support and have been given the flexibility to do so, whilst ensuring disadvantaged children continue to be prioritised.

Take a look at our ‘how to guide’ for more information on how to access the NTP. You can also call the team on 0330 390 3315 to get help with registering your school.

How to register for the NTP webinars

The NTP webinar series continues and will focus on region specific information. They provide a great opportunity for shared learning from the experiences of schools in your region.

This week’s webinar will focus on the North East and will take place on Thursday 3 March at 4pm.
