Information from the DfE on School Led Tutoring Grant – 27/10/2021
Eligible schools will receive the school-led tutoring grant via their regular scheduled ESFA payments.
This can be used to source tutoring provision for disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils who have missed the most education due to COVID-19 disruption. You can find information about school level allocations on the school-led tutoring: conditions of grant and allocations page. So that we can accurately recover any unspent funding and understand how schools are supporting their pupils, there are two key, compulsory data collections that schools must complete during the academic year:
- the school census – this must be completed once a term, further information about completing this can be found in the school census guide.
- a school-led tutoring: year-end statement by the end of July 2022. We have provided a tracker and calculator tool to help schools track information during the academic year and it will help in completing and returning their mandatory school-led tutoring: year-end statement to the EFSA by the end of July 2022.
The tracker and calculator, along with guidance on how to use it can be found: here. Use of the tracker and calculator tool is entirely voluntary. The tracker and calculator tool can be downloaded and used offline by schools if they want to. If schools already have their own methods of collating information about school-led tutoring, there is no need to use, or switch to, the tool. The tracker and calculator tool does not need to be returned to DfE at any point. It is for school’s own internal use if helpful to them. Further information about School-Led Tutoring is available here.
