16 to 19 Tuition Fund
The 16 to 19 Tuition Fund 2021 to 2022 academic year
The 16 to 19 Tuition Fund 2021 to 2022 academic year
The 16 to 19 tuition fund is ring fenced funding for schools, colleges and all other 16 to 19 providers to mitigate the disruption to learning arising from coronavirus (COVID-19). This statement explains how Gumley House will use this funding to prioritise support for disadvantaged students.
Supporting students
The funding is to support small group tuition for students aged 16 to 19 in English, maths and other subjects that have been disrupted, including and/or academic learning. Students aged 19 to 24 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) are also eligible for support. All students must be on a 16 to 19 study programme and the funding will be used to support the tuition activity above and beyond the programmes of education already planned. It is for students who:
- have not achieved a grade GCSE 4 or above in English and/or maths.
- have a grade GCSE 4 or above in English and/or maths, but are from an economically disadvantaged background and who need catch-up support.
How Gumley House will use the 16 to 19 Tuition Fund
The 16 to 19 Tuition Fund will be used to provide small group tuition for students aged 16 to 19 who have not yet achieved a grade 5 or above in English and/or maths. The provision will not be limited to tuition for English and maths: it will also be used to support students on vocational courses where assessments have been disrupted because of lockdown. Students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who require additional tuition to help them catch up with their studies will also be supported by this provision.
Tuition groups will be scheduled in addition to their timetabled hours for the academic year 2021/22. Tuition and additional support may be delivered using a blend of online and face-to-face delivery.
Examples of the tuition support on offer:
GCSE exam re-sit preparation
English and maths skills development, including support for assessments
Academic/technical knowledge and skills development to make up for any shortfall from previous learning
Mastering skills competencies and development of some practical skills impacted due to lost learning time.
Tuition Support offered will be based on an individuals’ needs assessment. The support will have an identification of a starting point, clear learning goals, expectations and outcomes, with specialist support to enable students to overcome barriers to learning for students with SEND.
