NAHT responds to Ofsted review of National Tutoring Programme

Responding to the publication of Ofsted’s independent review into the government’s National Tutoring Programme in schools and the 16-19 tuition fund, James Bowen, assistant general secretary at school leaders' union NAHT, said:

“School leaders and their staff are best placed to make decisions about which pupils will most likely benefit from tutoring.

"What they really need now is some clarity about the long-term plans for the future of the National Tutoring Programme, particularly in terms of the funding commitment from government, so they can take a strategic approach to tutoring going forwards.”
