The Department for Education plans to reopen submissions to its portal for schools to report their National Tutoring Programme spending after leaders “faced difficulties” filling it in.
Schools are required to tell DfE how much of their tutoring grant they have spent for the 2022-23 academic year. They had until 2pm today (Friday) to fill in the year-end statement.
Failure to do so meant government would clawback the full funding allocation.
However, heads complained they had struggled to access the form this week. One head said on social media the system “timed out at submission point five times”.
