4. Tutored pupils keep up The final report of Making Good Progress found tuition had a positive impact on pupil progress. In particular:  Tutored pupils with the lowest KS1 results outperformed their peers at KS2 – this also applied to FSM pupils  In reading, pupils progressed in line with their peers – a significant achievement given they were selected for tuition because they were stuck in their learning – again, this also applied to FSM pupils  75% teachers surveyed confirmed the impact of tuition on pupil progression

This may apply for example in some particular instances of EAL or SEN

22. Models of tuition Schools may consider these questions around the current models of identification and delivery:Schools may consider these questions around the current models of identification and delivery: –Which year groups/ vulnerable groups need 1-2-1 intervention? –Do we need a balance of English/ maths or is one a priority for the school? –Can we begin tuition earlier to maximise impact across the year? –Does the tuition timing need to be more responsive to pupils needs and circumstances? –Will tuition be solely internal/ external or will the school need to consider both options? –If staff currently tutor, is there the capacity to add more pupils?

23. Models of tuition –Could the school allocate additional funds to increase the number of pupils tutored or allow tuition for both English and mathematics for some individuals? –How will the school sustain the CPD of tutors, particularly if they are colleagues who are not current employees? –How are parents currently involved in tuition? Is there more we can to engage them with the tuition in terms of support at home/ updating on progress or drawing on their knowledge of their child? –Considering the timescales, what planning needs to be in place in order to move tuition on in school\/ \what support do we need/ want to access to help us?
