Supporting Disadvantaged Children through the National Tutoring Programme (NTP)

What is the NTP Tutoring Programme?

The NTP was created by the Department for Education in response to the learning loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through NTP tutoring, schools in England can access tuition for their students with 70% of the costs covered by the government. Prospero Teaching is proud to be an approved NTP partner, helping schools nationwide to access this funding and provide market-leading tuition for as little as £9.30 per hour.

In March 2022, the Department for Education made an announcement to simplify the educational program for the upcoming academic year 2022-2023. They are dedicating £349 million in core funding directly to schools, giving them the liberty to choose the best approach for providing students with tutoring services. Thus, during the academic year 2022-2023, schools will be granted NTP funding for the three tutoring routes, including tuition partners, academic mentors, and school-led tutoring.

Why Choose Prospero for NTP Tuition?

At Prospero, we understand the importance of providing high-quality, individualized support to disadvantaged children in order to help them catch up and reach their full potential.

Types of NTP Funding Available:

There are three pillars of funding that schools can access through the NTP: tuition partners, academic mentors, and school-led tutoring. Tuition funding allows schools to book 15-hour blocks of tuition, with the government covering 70% of the cost and the school responsible for the remaining 30%. School-led funding grants schools a pool of money to spend on tuition, which can be delivered by internal school staff.
