Tuition Fund
What is the 16 – 19 Tuition Fund?
The Government has provided funding allocation for the 23-24 academic year. The fund is being provided to support students to catch-up and close any gaps in their learning. The fund will be used for small group and 1:1 tuition in English and Maths for 16 to 19-year-old learners. This tuition will be in addition to the planned study programme hours.
How is Kingsthorpe College using this fund?
Tuition groups with small numbers of students will be scheduled in addition to the planned programme of study hours already timetabled for the academic year 23-24.
Examples of some of the tuition support on offer will include:
- Revision workshops.
- Assessment preparation support.
- Academic skills support, including English and Maths development.
- Additional learning support for students with specialist needs.
Who can be supported?
- Learners must be aged 16-19 and must not have already achieved a GCSE grade 4 or 5 in Maths and/or English.
- Students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) will also be supported by this provision.
- Students who have not achieved a GCSE grade 4 or above in Maths and/or English and are from an economically disadvantaged background.
