Education Development Trust (EDT) has been delivering training for the School-Led Tutoring route of the National Tutoring Programme since 2021, and recently expanded its training offer for the 2022-23 academic year. This helps to ensure that all tutors employed by schools have the right skills and knowledge to provide high-quality tuition to their pupils, and that schools understand how to embed tutoring effectively within their own contexts.
The objectives of the National Tutoring Programme are:
-
to address the impact of Covid-19 on educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils
-
improve the quality of tutoring within the sector
-
embed a culture of tutoring within schools as part of the longer-term solution to address the attainment gap.
New tutors are offered pre-service training before commencing tutoring sessions and continue to receive ongoing in-service training, informed by the latest research in best-practice tutoring.
