An Ofsted evaluation of the progress and effectiveness of the government’s flagship National Tutoring Programme (NTP) has been delayed until the autumn because of “issues with capacity”.
It is the second independent review of the scheme to have been held up, after the publication of a National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) study was also postponed.
Both evaluations, which were due to be published this summer, are now likely to be published around two years after the NTP’s launch in November 2020.
