More than nine in 10 senior school leaders say their workload increased with the National Tutoring Programme, a new evaluation has found.
School leaders told evaluators the funding for the NTP last year was “incredibly difficult to manage”, with the guidance coined as “rubbish and incredibly complicated”.
Researchers said workload was a “key challenge” and recommended that NTP funding included some money for administration and management of the programme.
The review and survey, by the National Foundation for Education Research, looked at how year two of the flagship catch-up scheme was implemented and and used by schools.
