The National Tutoring Programme aims to deliver up to 2 million tuition courses this year, and to deliver up to 90 million tuition hours by the 2024/25 academic year across the programme’s 3 pillars.

The programme is currently on course to deliver its objectives. Schools know their pupils best and have the freedom to enrol those who will benefit most. So far, an estimated 230,000 courses have been started by pupils through the School-Led tutoring pillar, an estimated 20,000 with Academic Mentors and an estimated 52,000 with Tuition Partners. As a course consists of 15 tuition hours this means pupils who need it most will be receiving millions of hours of high-quality support.

The department will continue to work closely with its delivery partner to ensure the Tuition Partner and Academic Mentor pillars fulfil their objectives by the end of the academic year.

We will publish further data for the spring and summer terms later this year.
