Schools will only be allowed to hire tutoring organisations pre-approved by the Department for Education under the National Tutoring Programme from September.
Guidance issued by the department earlier this month revealed the change to funding conditions for the school-led tutoring route.
This year, schools using the NTP through the school-led route were allowed to use any private tutoring organisation they wanted.
Previous guidance only stipulated that leaders to use their “professional judgment” and checks providers could “meet the needs of their pupils”.
