CoachBright - National Tutoring Programme 2021/22

We are delighted to be an approved Tuition Partner of the National Tutoring Programme for 2021/22.

We know the effects Covid-19 is having on our most disadvantaged pupils and we are actively seeking out schools at secondary and primary level to partner with to ensure pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds receive the additional tuition they need.

Please feel free to email our CEO who is working with new partners at robin@coachbright.org or feel free to fill in the form at the bottom of this page. See below for some quick FAQ’s.

The National Tutoring Programme with CoachBright has provided an exceptional service to the students of Bacon’s College particularly during the challenge of school closures and remote learning.

Tutoring sessions were delivered weekly to provide the students with the much needed opportunity to connect with a familiar and friendly face, and overcome difficulties that they may be facing in their chosen core subject.

WHO ARE OUR TUTORS?

Trained university students and recent graduates who will tutor to the school’s curriculum.

All have DBS checks and safeguarding trained.


HOW DO WE RECRUIT OUR TUTORS?

Tutors must meet eligibility of having worked to a high level in their subject (either degree, A/B at A- level or A*/A at GCSE). They apply by filling out an application form. Then, attend an assessed training day. Tutors all agree to our safer recruitment policy and must pass a DBS.


HOW DO WE TRAIN OUR TUTORS?

Initial tutor training is a day long focussed on understanding our mission of working with disadvantaged pupils and making social mobility a reality, session planning, how to build relationships with pupils and safeguarding. We run ongoing CPD throughout the programme in subject-specific groups and open drop-ins to plan sessions with the CoachBright team.


HOW WILL WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU?

Each school has an allocated CoachBright staff member who will support in identifying pupils, fixing dates for the programme and quality assuring sessions.

Throughout, schools input onto our online system topics for pupils to focus on and can see and provide feedback on how each individual session is going.


HOW WILL WE KEEP TRACK OF PUPIL PROGRESS?

We collect attainment data before and after programme to assess how CoachBright pupils do compared to those not on the programme in their tutored subject.

Throughout the programme, we collect pupil, tutor and teacher feedback.

All our information is shared with the school weekly and we provide an end-of-programme report.
