As we approach the end of the 2023/2024 academic year and the National Tutoring Programme, we’re looking ahead to September and how we can continue to make our high-quality tutoring as accessible as possible.

The National Tutoring Programme (NTP) is coming to an end in August and it will make it even more difficult for many schools to continue to access the vital support that tutoring can provide. As a charity, pupils are our priority – not profit.

The generosity of our funders means that we have been able to keep the cost of our tuition the same for schools.

1.  We’re keeping the costs of tutoring affordable

This time last year, we reduced the headline cost of our tutoring for 2023/2024 by 20%. This meant that we could absorb the 10% reduction in NTP funding. For the academic year 2024/2025, we’ve reduced our costs for the second year running, with tuition now costing only £30 per hour.

We will be giving the option to increase group sizes from 1:3 to 1:4 to all schools in the next academic year. This is based on robust feedback from schools and a successful pilot scheme. The pilot showed that increasing group sizes did not affect our high attainment outcomes.

Overall, based on the new costs and the increased group sizes, a 15-hour programme can now be provided for £450. This equates to just £7.50 per pupil per hour.

2. We’re a trusted partner with over a decade of experience

Having worked with schools across the north of England for over 12 years we know that school budgets are under unprecedented pressure. During this time, we collaborated with more than 700 schools, supporting over 30,000 pupils. By committing to working locally, we understand the regional educational landscape and how best to provide a localised and tailored approach in each of our three regions.

Our school partners trust us to provide the highest quality tutoring to their pupils and, in 2023/2024, 97% of school leaders who worked with us said they would recommend us to another school.

3. We make it easy for schools and colleges to work with us

We aim to make working with us as straightforward as possible. Understanding the time pressures that school leaders are under means we have made the process of working with us quick and easy. Setting up a tutoring programme with us is so simple it can be explained in less than a minute:

It's easier than ever for schools to work with us. We provide high-quality maths, English, and science tuition for primary and secondary schools across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and West Yorkshire.

Ease of communication was flagged as the second most important factor that school leaders liked about working with us (the first being the high quality of our tutoring!)

They were quick to respond, friendly and professional and prepared well with online meetings before the children started.”
Nick Hemingway, Deputy Headteacher, Meadowfield Primary, Leeds

Despite the changing landscape for tutoring, we’re committed to making it as easy as possible for schools to work with us, to support as many young people as possible across our three regions. Tutor Trust CEO Ed Marsh explains:

We’re delighted that, thanks to our generous funders, we can continue to offer schools access to our high-quality tutoring at a rate that hopefully offsets the closure of the NTP. Working in such close partnership with schools means that we see first-hand just how stretched their budgets are. We sincerely hope that being able to offer our tutoring at the same rate to schools as last year will enable us to continue to collaborate with schools in providing support to students who would otherwise be able to gain access to a tutor.”
