Auditors are examining whether the National Tutoring Programme is achieving value for money as part of an investigation into government’s education catch-up schemes.
The National Audit Office will report later this year on how effectively the Department for Education is supporting education recovery in schools.
The probe will include an assessment of ministers’ flagship multi-million pound tutoring scheme, following a bumpy two years since its launch.
It will also probe the universal and targeted financial premiums paid directly to schools, training and continuous professional development for teachers and the summer schools programme.
