OverviewThe National Tutoring Programme (NTP) supports schools to address the impact of school closures on pupils’ learning through access to high-quality tutoring. Through NTP Tuition Partners, schools will be able to access subsidised high-quality tuition from an approved list of providers. Through NTP Academic Mentors, trained graduates will be employed by schools in the most disadvantaged areas to provide intensive support to their pupils.Both pillars are funded as part of the government’s £350m allocation to tutoring, through the £1bn coronavirus catch up package. The programme has been designed and developed by a collaboration of five charities – the Education Endowment Foundation, Sutton Trust, Impetus, Nesta and Teach First – working in partnership with the Department for Education.
