State-funded schools will receive NTP funding over the course of the 2023/24 academic year, to deliver tuition to their pupils. This funding is paid in termly instalments, via local authorities and academy trusts. Funding allocations are calculated based on the number of pupil premium (PP) eligible pupils each school has, and funding is intended to cover 50% of unit costs incurred in the delivery of tutoring, with schools targeting the tutoring offer towards their PP cohort and making up the remainder of the cost using PP, or other core school budgets.
The overall approach to the NTP in the 2023/24 academic year, is to put schools in charge of designing and delivering a tutoring offer that suits the needs of their pupils. The Department for Education will support this by:
- providing training, via Education Development Trust, for School-Led Tutors and Academic Mentors
-
providing core funding to schools
-
recruiting, via Cognition, well-qualified Academic Mentors
-
helping schools find high-quality tuition partners
-
providing training, via Education Development Trust, for School-Led Tutors
-
offering support to any school that requires it
