We’re delighted to announce that we have been selected as an approved tuition provider for the National Tutoring Programme (NTP)!
As a Tuition Partner, we’ll be providing high quality tutoring to schools in the South West, West Midlands, London, South East and East of England, using our experience in improving attainment, confidence and independence to provide tutoring to pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds and help widen access to tutoring.
Our tuition through the NTP will be subsidised by 75%.
Our programmes will support Primary and Secondary schools specifically targeting pupils in Years 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11. The subjects we will offer tutoring in is English, Maths and Science (only Secondary).
As a social mobility organisation, we know the effects Covid-19 has had on our most disadvantaged pupils in disrupting their learning. We believe outstanding small group tuition can boost grades and also help pupils develop trusting, responsible learning habits which will set pupils up beyond the classroom.
Having supported over thousands of pupils, we know, when done right, our programmes can have a life changing effect on a young person’s trajectory with many of our pupils being the first in their family to go to university.
At its core, our programmes help pupils improve their grades, confidence and independence.
Last year we supported 1,229 pupils in our secondary school programmes. These pupils - on average - improved in their tutored subject by 0.44 of a grade more than their non-CoachBright Pupil Premium (PP) peers in the academic year 2019/20 and similarly over a third of a grade more in the academic year 2018/19 compared to their non-CoachBright PP peers.
During the initial phase of lockdown, we moved our tutoring online for the first time and commissioned the evaluator ImpactEd to assess the effectiveness of non-cognitive outcomes around metacognition and grit (full report here).
The evaluation found the increase of 17% in metacognition was statistically significant and meant CoachBright pupils scored significantly higher on metacognition than the national average at the time.
Considering the Education Endowment Foundation’s research that ‘metacognitive strategies’ can be worth the equivalent of 7+ months progress when used well we were thrilled with our findings.
As an approved National Tutoring Programme Tuition Partner, we welcome the chance to join the national effort to ensure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds get the support they need.
