16 to 19 tuition fund statement

How the Academy will use the 16 to 19 tuition fund

The purpose of this statement is to set out how IKB Academy will use its 16 to 19 tuition fund allocation to support students who have been academically disadvantaged due to coronavirus (Covid-19).

The 16 to 19 tuition fund will be used to provide tuition for students aged 16 to 19 who have not yet achieved grade 4 or above in English and/or maths. The provision will not be limited to tuition for English and maths, but will also be used to help progressing students on vocational course where assessment may have been deferred because of lockdown. Students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) – including those aged 19 to 24 who require additional tuition to help them catch up with their studies – will also be supported.

Tuition groups will be small and tuition sessions will be scheduled in addition to the planned programme of study hours already timetabled for the academic year 2021/22. Tuition and additional support may be delivered using a blend of online and face to face delivery.

Examples of tuition support offered include:

  • GCSE exam re-sit preparation
  • Vocational deferred assessment preparation
  • Vocational knowledge catch-up session

Tuition offered will be based on an individual needs assessment.
