School Led Tutoring Expenditure

SCHOOL LED TUTORING PROGRAMME

The Department for Education (DfE) committed as part of its education recovery plan, to provide financial assistance to eligible maintained schools, in accordance with section 14 of the Education Act 2002.  The additional funding was awarded in the form of tutoring grants. 

The tutoring awards gives schools the flexibility in determining how best to provide additional interventions to support catch-up for lost education due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
