COVID Catch Up Funding (including 16-19 Tuition Fund)

16 to 19 tuition fund statement

 

Avanti House Secondary School will be utilising the funding provided, for small group or individual tuition to mitigate against the impact of the pandemic on our study programme students. Sessions will be above and beyond normal timetabled hours. This provision may include a mix of both Avanti House School staff and external tutoring as appropriate. Students will be prioritised for tuition based on the guidance released by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). Support sessions will be prioritised for the following students:

  • Those who have not achieved a grade 4 or 5 in GCSE Maths and/or English
  • Those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), particularly where they have experienced additional disruption to learning as a result of their specific needs and disabilities.

Our tuition support offered will be based on individual needs, the identification of an individual starting point, clear learning goals, expectations, and outcomes. We are committed to ensuring the tuition fund is used in accordance with the Government’s guidance and to support our students the best we can.

Identified students will be provided with tuition that is additional to their programme of study. Tuition will take place on a one-to-one basis or very small groups of a maximum of up to 5 students. Tuition will take place either during the school day, after the school day, on Saturday mornings or during the school holidays. Tuition will take place at the Avanti House school, in person, or be delivered by high quality providers. Tutors will be selected on the basis that they are very experienced in supporting students who are preparing for examinations. A Higher-Level Teaching Assistant will support students who have not achieved a level 4 in maths with one-to-one support. In addition to maths and English GCSE, the fund will be used to support identified students with additional tuition in both A level and vocational subjects.
