The impact
Our impact in secondary schools
In 2022/2023 we:
We provided tutoring in Maths, English and Science to thousands
of pupils across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.
At GCSE, while progress was very similar
to in previous years, the make-up of the
tutoring cohort was quite di昀昀erent to that of
2022, with a signi昀椀cantly greater number of
low prior attainers. In Maths, almost half of
tutees (48%) started the programme working
at Grade 2 or below, compared with 25% the
previous year. This lower starting attainment
pro昀椀le of many of our tutees points to the
ongoing e昀昀ects of the pandemic. Our tutors
played an important role in their catch
up but our evidence shows there is still
so much needed for them to reach prepandemic levels. This is particularly the case
in Maths: preliminary research has indicated
that Maths attainment, particularly among
lower-income pupils, was particularly badly
a昀昀ected by school closures and disruption.20
Pleasingly, in all three subjects, there was a
correlation between the number of sessions
attended and the likelihood of attaining a
4 or above at GCSE. We continue to work
with schools to support pupil attendance at
tutoring sessions, as each additional hour of
tutoring enhances progress and maximises
a young person’s chance of achieving this
benchmark outcome.
