The pilot programme aims to address gaps in students’ understanding of maths/English, increase engagement in lessons, build confidence and lead ultimately to increased GCSE attainment.
The pilot will involve up to 12 students in 20 schools or colleges serving disadvantaged communities who will be resitting their GCSEs in English or Maths in November or June 2025 in Yorkshire and the North West of England.
The evaluation will include three key activities for colleges/schools - an online baseline and endpoint student attitude survey, case studies and interviews and the collection of monitoring data on students’ participation in tutoring and GCSE grades.
Further information on activities is available in the 
school information sheet.
By participating in this evaluation, your school or college will help Tutor Trust make a decision on a further roll-out of post-16 tutoring to the benefit of larger numbers of students resitting GCSEs in English and maths.
The project will run from April 2024 to July 2025, with an aim to share the findings with participating schools and colleges and publish the evaluation report in the 2025 Winter Term or Spring Term of 2026.
Further details on the timeline of activities for the trial can be found in the school information sheet.
Schools and colleges have already been recruited for this pilot.
