In March, the Department of Education (DfE) announced plans to simplify the National Tutoring Programme (NTP) for the academic year 2022\/23. These plans include giving funding directly to schools and giving them greater freedom. Schools can expect to see these key changes in 2022\/23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2021\/22, schools could only receive funding for tuition they had arranged themselves, such as tuition from existing and former staff, through the School-Led Tutoring Grant. In 2022\/23, schools will receive all funding directly and can use it to arrange tuition from current, retired, supply, returning and newly engaged staff members. Funding can also be used to employ Academic Mentors and tutors from approved Tuition Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The subsidy rate for all tuition provided through the NTP will be 60% in 2022\/23. This represents a change from 2021\/22, in which tuition from approved Tuition Partners received a subsidy of 70% and tuition through the School-Led Tutoring Grant received 75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This academic year, schools will not be able to use NTP funding for tuition from non-approved external tuition providers. In 2022\/23, schools can only use NTP funding for tuition from approved Tuition Partners. The DfE has created a new website<\/a> to help schools to find suitable approved Tuition Partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In previous years, schools were required to use Randstad, the NTP central supplier, to connect with Academic Mentors. In 2022\/23, this requirement has been removed and schools can use NTP funding to employ Academic Mentors they have sourced themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How These Changes Could Benefit Your School<\/p>\n\n\n\n The continuation of funding for catch-up tuition for students through the NTP is greatly needed. The Education Endowment Fund<\/a> predicts that school closures will widen the attainment gap between disadvantaged children and their peers by around 36%. Students with English as an Additional Language (EAL\/ESOL)<\/a> and Special Educational Needs and\/or Disabilities (SEND)<\/a> also suffered significant learning loss. The Bell Foundation<\/a>, for example, found that 69% of teachers reported that school closures had negatively impacted the language skills of pupils with EAL. Direct funding for all NTP tuition and the removal of the requirement to use a central supplier will simplify the process of arranging tuition for schools. The new DfE website for schools will also help schools quickly find tuition that suits their students\u2019 needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to know more about the NTP? <\/strong>Check out our free Information Pack <\/a>about the NTP in 2022\/23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for an NTP Approved Tuition Partner? <\/strong>Seven Springs Education is proud to have been selected as an Approved Tuition Partner for a second year running.
