16-19 Tuition Fund

At our college, we know that no two people are the same and that some need a little more help than others. That’s why we are accessing the 16-19 Tuition Fund. This is a government initiative used to provide small group tuition sessions in English, Maths, and other courses where learning has been disrupted as a result of COVID-19.

Accessing the additional tuition sessions can help you progress with your studies, as you will receive a wide range of support – from pastoral support, to digital skills training and help with exam techniques.

To be eligible for this tuition, you must be aged 16-19 and have not yet achieved a grade 4 or above in either Maths or English. We will prioritise learners who are BAME, SEND, high needs, or have otherwise had their learning impacted.

To apply for the tuition, please fill in this form.
