Most headteachers don’t know if tutoring of pupils through the government’s flagship catch-up scheme is working, an Ofsted evaluation has found.
The inspectorate has published an independent review of the second year of the National Tutoring Programme, when it was run by Randstad.
After visits to 63 schools last academic year, it has shared emerging findings with the Department for Education. But inspectors previously insisted it would never be “tuition compliance police”.
It follows an evaluation of NTP year 1 which found it “failed” to achieve its “intended focus” on helping disadvantaged pupils catch up.
