Spotlight: Allerton Bywater Primary School, Leeds
We’ve partnered with Allerton Bywater
Primary School for the past two academic
years. A two-form entry school in
East Leeds that is part of the Brigshaw
Learning Partnership, Allerton Bywater
has partnership embedded into its DNA,
and believes:
Through creativity, challenge
“
and connection, we unleash our
true potential.
”
This year, we provided Maths tutoring
to 27 children in Year 5 and Year 6 at
Allerton Bywater, some of whom we
had also supported in the previous year.
Pupil attendance at sessions was 93%,
with each pupil receiving on average
10 hours of support.
We were delighted to hear that our Year 6
tutees at Allerton Bywater excelled in their
SATs. By the time of the exams, 12 of the 18
pupils reached the expected standard of 100
or higher, with a further 昀椀ve pupils receiving
a scaled score just short at 98 or 99.
What was truly outstanding was the
progress these children made, with
an average of 13 scaled score points
of progress between the start and end
of the programme. This equates to around
40 additional raw marks across the Maths
papers! The high-quality teaching o昀昀ered
at Allerton Bywater, along with bespoke
support in tutoring sessions, enabled these
tutees to enter secondary school working
at the expected level for their age.
a fantastic rapport with our children
and worked brilliantly as part of our
wider team.
Their tutor, Justine Hardisty, was delighted
at the children’s success. Justine, who joined
Tutor Trust last summer and has recently
been chosen as our West Yorkshire Tutor
of the Year, has 20 years’ experience as a
classroom teacher, and has found it very
rewarding to use her skills in a new way.
On receiving the results, she remembers
that the pupils:
The pupils themselves loved
the tutoring:
“
Were so thrilled and quite
deservedly proud of themselves.
There was a true sense of celebration
and shared sense of pride across the
whole school that day which was so
lovely to see.
”
Josh Asquith, Deputy Head at Allerton
Bywater, is a keen advocate for tuition,
which is not surprising as he is a former
Tutor Trust tutor, having tutored with
us while studying at the University of
Manchester and the Royal Northern
College of Music. He noted how Justine
had become a valuable member of the
school community, saying that:
”

Justine was incredible – she has
