School – led tutoring 2021/22 

We used the full allocation of the school-led tutoring grant to provide tutoring using existing staff, and one recruited teacher.

We prioritised disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils, which included:

• Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities
• Pupils who have a social worker
• Previously looked-after pupils
• Other vulnerable pupils

We used termly assessment data to review pupil progress; gaps were addressed quickly and effectively.  

We maximised the impact of tutoring sessions by:

• Explicitly linking sessions to classroom teaching and pupils’ specific needs
• Identifying missing gaps in knowledge due to the pandemic
• Providing high-quality, individualised feedback
• Offering short, regular and sustained sessions
• Limiting group sizes (maximum 3 pupils)
• Effective planning
• Using excellent teaching resources
• Forming good relationships between tutors, pupils and families

In 2021/22, we provided 2,288 hours of school-led tutoring enabling 143 pupils to receive 16 hours of extra learning support. During the first week of the summer holiday, selected Year 5 pupils were invited to summer school where they focused on their missing gaps in learning. 

In 2021/22, we spent £38,092.52 on school-led tutoring, using the school budget to fund the overspend.
