Spotlight: The Prince’s
Trust ‘Achieve’
A programme for secondary-aged
pupils combining tutoring with the Prince’s
Trust Achieve programme, which focuses
on developing life skills and preparing
young people for the world of work. Our
tutors delivering this programme have all
received additional training to deliver the
Achieve modules.
Spotlight: Time for Me
New for 2023/24, The ‘Time for Me’
programme combines tutoring and
mentoring to support both pupils’ attainment
and their con昀椀dence at school. To prepare,
we’ve partnered with Haili Hughes, Principal
Lecturer in mentoring at the University of
Sunderland, who has delivered training in
mentoring to all Tutor Trust sta昀昀. A small
group of colleagues are receiving additional
training to equip them to train tutors who
will be delivering the programme.
‘Time for Me’ is designed to support young
people at both primary and secondary
school who would bene昀椀t from both
academic support and access to a positive
role model who can build con昀椀dence and
raise aspirations.

for young people in secondary school that
