16-19 Tuition Fund

The purpose of this statement is to set out how College@Deyes will use the 16-19 tuition fund to support students who have been academically disadvantaged due to Covid-19.

Government Guidance

The 16 to 19 Tuition Fund was first provided for the 2020 to 2021 academic year and is being extended beyond 2021 to 2022 for a further two years into the 2023 to 2024 academic year. Although the actual tuition does not need to be for GCSE English or maths, it is aimed primarily at students who:

• have not achieved a grade 4 or 5 in English and/or maths;
• have a grade 4 or above in English and/or maths, are from an economically disadvantaged background and would need catch-up support;
• students with special educations needs and disabilities (SEND) will be considered for additional support via this fund, particularly where they have experienced additional disruption.
  

How we will use the funding:

We will use this funding to deliver small group tuition via Ranstad Education. We have supplied Ranstad with the topics, identified by our subject leaders, as being the areas for development for our chosen students. Ranstad have agreed to deliver the sessions on site for maximum impact on learning. These will happen, after school, in the following subject areas; Maths, English Literature, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology, Sociology and Religious Education. We will use the tuition to address gaps in skills and subject knowledge.

We are committed to ensuring that the tuition fund is used in accordance with the Government’s guidance by producing this statement explaining how we will use the funding and publicising it on our website. We will record the use of funding, including reference to the individual students that receive the support, the needs of those students, the number of hours of tuition delivered and retain the necessary evidence of the tuition provided.
