16-19 Tuition Fund
The purpose of this statement is to set out how Capital City Academy will use its 16 to 19 tuition fund allocation to support students who have been academically disadvantaged due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
What is the 16-19 Tuition Fund?
This is ring fenced funding for schools and colleges to mitigate the disruption to learning arising from coronavirus (COVID-19). The funding is being provided to support small group tuition for 16 to 19 students in English, maths, and other courses where learning has been disrupted.
How will we use the 16-19 tuition fund?
The 16 to 19 Tuition Fund will be used to provide small group tuition for Year 12/13 students who have not yet achieved a grade 6 or above in English and/or maths, or who are from an economically disadvantaged background, during supervised study periods. The provision will not be limited to tuition for English and maths, but will also be used to help progressing students on academic and vocational courses where learning has been impacted as a result of Covid 19.
Support offered
Eligible students will be assessed to determine what additional tuition would benefit them and bespoke arrangements will be put in place. This additional tuition will be delivered in small groups of no more than five students, in exceptional circumstances this can be extended to 7 students. This is in accordance with the guidance released by ESFA.
Individual plans will be produced to determine what additional tuition would benefit them and the arrangements which can be put in place. Additional support offered to students will include:
Accountability
We will, as a condition of the receipt of this funding:
- record the use of the funding, including reference to the individual students that receive the support, the needs of those students, the number of hours of tuition delivered, and retain the necessary evidence of the tuition provided
- deliver the extra tuition and spend the associated funding in the relevant academic year
- notify ESFA of any unspent funding from this fund for it to be reclaimed
- evaluate the impact of interventions to support the needs of our students.
