One 2 One Tuition

Created to provide additional support in Maths and/or English, the programme has been set up to work alongside classroom teaching as extra one to one help for children and young people not reaching their potential SET has been commissioned to deliver this service by the LA. It is provided by the core team, a part time paid co-ordinator and part time tutors. The clients are selected pupils in SET schools. The service involves recruiting, training and deploying tutors to work with identified students to raise attainment in English and maths. The service will start in September 2009 for secondary and primary schools (some primary schools have been involved in a pilot from April 2009) The service is free to SET pupils and schools and funded through a government grant. The primary school pilot has been well received by schools and has pointed the way for future developments in both newly engaged primary and secondary schools. The service is not financially sustainable beyond the life of the grant. The number of clients is dictated by both the terms of the grant from the DCSF and the amount of funding from the DCSF. Our plans for the development of this service over the life of the business plan will depend on funding and evaluation after the first year and the impact of the project on schools who may want to find it in the future.
