1. Lancashire One to One Tuition School Leads Autumn 2009 Network Hilary King, Project Lead and Sarah Watson, Principal Primary Consultant

2. Primary Agenda Lancashire One to One Update Progress so far in schools 2009 Tuition Lead Audit Some solutions Next steps

3. A Reminder One-to-One Tuition There are some children who, despite all best efforts, do not make the progress they need in a small group or whole-class setting. Without an individualised approach it may be hard for these children to make the progress needed to achieve their full potential. To support the needs of this group the DCSF has been trialling the use of one-to-one tuition for pupils falling behind in English and/or mathematics as part of the Making Good Progress pilot. From 2009, one-to-one tuition is being rolled out on a national basis to pupils in Key Stage 2, 3 (and in National Challenge schools in Key Stage 4).

4. Who Receives It? The target cohort will comprise students who entered the key stage below age related expectations:- students who have not made the appropriate progress in a key stage; students who are disadvantaged and vulnerable e.g. looked after children and children who are unable to afford extra one to one tuition. All schools will be involved in this initiative [except for 7 Special Schools] The funding is ring-fenced. Schools receiving money to provide one-to-one tuition places need to ensure that they can provide evidence that this money has been used to fund the appropriate number of tuition places. Schools will also be expected to demonstrate the progress made by pupils as a result of the tuition they have received. Lancashire will offer every possible support to schools in achieving this.

5. To date in Lancashire 138 Primary Schools have been involved in the LA pilot from Spring 2009 offering 994 tuition places. 51 so far have responded to an evaluation. ‘Children all reached target of 2 levels progress. 2 ch. made 3 levels progress’

6. Quotes from Pilot Head Teachers ‘The children grew in confidence and our internal data shows that 2 out of the 3 moved up a sub level in the short time they were tutored.’ The pupils' confidence increased enormously during the 1:1 tuition. The children were much more confident and motivated when back in class, they were more willing to answer questions and get involved’. ‘Huge rise in confidence particularly in maths and attitudes to learning had been raised in all areas.’

7. Roll-out 2009 Primary Roll-out in 2009/10 In Lancashire we have been allocated £2.8M for One to One Tuition in 2009/10 (KS2, KS3, KS4 in National Challenge Schools). We have 3462 places at KS2 (target year groups Y3 & Y4) (funded at £368 per place - which represents 10 hours tuition + 2 extra hours pay for the tutor for liaison/planning/training @ £25 per hour + £4 on-costs. Schools receive £20.00 per place to fund the liaison between teacher and tutor.).

8. Phase 1 948 places allocated to schools last July– approx. £350,000 funding The number of tuition places for each school in phase 1 was calculated using a range of data based upon the selection criteria listed below: –Pupils on the 'Every Child a Writer' programme –ALL Looked-After Children in this year’s Y3 or Y4 –Schools with the highest level of need as indicated by the index of multiple deprivation, low % L4+ in English and Maths (2008), low CVA (2008), high % Free School Meals

9. Phase 2 The remaining 2500 primary places have been rolled-out based on 2008 & 2009 KS1 data – prioritising children at L2c at the end of KS1. Schools, including the selected Special Schools, were notified of their allocation in phase 2 at October half-term 2009 in time to implement tuition in the spring/summer terms 2010. Schools identified in phase 2 as needing more tuition places than they were allocated in phase 1 will have it 'topped-up'. For 2009/2010 there is flexibility in the proportion of tuition places allocated for English and mathematics. In 2010-2011 schools will be expected to divide the number of tuition places equally between English and mathematics. Every primary school in Lancashire now has at least 2 places, making this a universal offer. Next year this allocation and funding doubles

10. Key Messages One-to-One tuition: it must be one-to-one and not small group tuition Suggested minimum tuition time of one hour per session for 10 sessions Tuition must be delivered by tutors with QTS, (ITT Teachers in the third term) Tuition sessions should reflect the discussions held between the class teacher and the tutor about the targets for an individual pupil One-to-One tuition should not replace other more appropriate interventions Schools will be expected to provide data on the progress made by pupils accessing one-to-one tuition, collected by UPN Funding for one-to-one tuition is ring-fenced
