The National Tutoring Programme (NTP) is a scheme that provides support for pupils and students most affected by disruption to their education as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In the 2022 to 2023 academic year, the Department for Education (DfE) provided core funding for the NTP directly to schools to enable them to decide how best to provide tutoring for their pupils. There are 3 routes to providing tuition: academic mentors, tuition partners and school-led tutoring. Schools can participate in multiple routes.
This publication provides, for 2022/23:
- estimates of the total number of tutoring courses delivered, hours of tutoring delivered and the number of pupils who had tutoring delivered to them for the academic year.
- estimates of the percentages of schools who participated in the National Tutoring Programme for the academic year.
- characteristics of pupils who received tutoring up to 18th May 2023.
The publication also includes estimates for the total number of starts made by pupils on NTP courses since NTP began in 2020/21.
For 2022/23, DfE simplified our process for collecting data from schools on participation in NTP. In 2021-22, we had three separate data collection mechanisms for each of the three NTP routes (see the methodology for details).
For data relating to the full 2022/23 academic year, this publication uses data provided by schools through the Year End Statement. Responses to the Year End Statement may be subject to revision. Final data for 2022-23 is expected to be available in April 2024. Data relating to pupil characteristics in this publication is based on schools’ responses to the School Census. These sources do not capture detailed information about delivery for each of the three NTP routes individually. Statistics for NTP in previous years included breakdowns by NTP route where available.
Estimates are broken down by region, local authority and school phase (primary, secondary, other) as stated in the publication.
Data files are available in the ‘Explore Data and Files’ section on this page.
Comparisons against the NTP statistics release for the 2021/22 academic year have not been included in this release because the underlying data sources have changed. Therefore, comparisons against figures in the previous release should be treated with caution.
