We also help the education sector put that evidence into practice. We’re always searching for programmes and approaches that will help leaders and teachers make the most of their limited time and budgets. So we’re actively looking for what will help learners resitting their GCSE English and maths exams achieve a grade 4. One approach with a strong evidence base in other phases is tutoring. Overall, research consistently shows that tutoring can be an effective method for improving attainment. We wanted to understand tutoring’s impact in a 16-19 context, and how tutoring programmes can be most effective.
