How we work
Case study
Tutor Trust and Oasis Academy, Oldham
Oasis Academy Oldham is one of our longest
and largest partnerships. Having worked with
them continuously since 2019, tutoring has
become part of their school culture.
Established as a community-focused
school in 2010, they are part of the Oasis
Community Learning network, a wellknown multi-academy trust with a vision
to create: ‘Exceptional Education at the
Heart of the Community’. Oasis Academy
Oldham is a testament to that vision and
focuses on: “Creating a community of
choices and chances.”
The school has a 48.8% Pupil Premium,
meaning through our partnership with
them, we are working primarily with
our target population and together are
providing crucial support for pupils.
In 2023/24 we supported:
▲ Primrose Hill Primary
School, Salford, Year 6

pupils with tutor Lola
Kirwan Albarn
• 386 pupils, across all year groups
in English, maths and science
• 33 pupils with our specialist Tutoring
Plus programmes
• 25 mathematicians of the future,
with our Axiom Maths programme
We are proud to have supported almost
1,000 pupils at Oasis Academy Oldham
across our 昀椀ve-year partnership.
The Year 11 pupils we worked with in
the mainstream sessions this year, ahead
of their GCSEs, made an average of 0.94
grades of progress, 0.7 in English, 0.9 in
maths and 1.2 in science, with attendance
across all cohorts at 68.1%.
Over the year, we had 23 tutors working
within the school. For Year 11 pupil Ben*,
who earned a Grade 4 pass in his GCSE
exams, it was his tutor Andrew Hope
who 昀椀red up a love of numbers. He said:
I’ve been able to correct my
“
mistakes. Having a tutor that isn’t
dull and boring also plays a big part,
so a big thanks to Mr Hope as he
actually makes me want to do
better in maths.
”
Farha Hussain, the school’s lead for
tuition said:
We have found that the
“
collaboration with Tutor Trust has
grown into an essential part of
our academy’s support system,
contributing to both the academic
and personal development of our
students, which has allowed many
to achieve outstanding GCSE results.
The tutoring programmes are
adaptable, tailored to the speci昀椀c
needs of our students, and provide
consistent, impactful support that
aligns perfectly with the curriculum
and school ethos.
