Our impact in secondary schools

We have been supporting secondary school pupils for over a decade to make accelerated progress. We have strong evidence of the impact that our work can make. In 2023, Year 11 pupils made almost three-quarters of a grade of progress in GCSE maths and GCSE English via their tutoring programme.

Strong progress at GCSE 

In 2023/24, we worked with over 2,300 Key Stage 4 pupils preparing for their GCSEs in Years 10 and 11. These pupils, most of whom started their programme working at a Grade 1, 2 or 3, made very strong progress over the course of their tutoring programme, with progress strongest for those who started the furthest behind. Our Y11 tutees made, on average:

  • 0 .89

    grades of progress in maths

  • 0 .91

    grades of progress in English

  • 0 .70

    grades of progress in science

Real-life examples

97% of our partners would recommend us to another school and many of our secondary school partners have worked with us for many years. Below are a small selection of real-life examples of how tutoring works in a secondary school setting.

Our long-term collaboration with Trinity CofE High School is working well, especially for pupils who enjoy their tuition sessions and make strong progress.
