The 16 to 19 tuition fund 2023 to 2024 academic year
The purpose of this statement is to set out how Solihull Sixth Form College will utilise the 16-19 Tuition Fund in 2023-24. The fund is allocated to colleges to mitigate the impact on learning and achievement arising from COVID-19.
The funding will be used to support students on Study Programmes, aged 16-19 across all Curriculum Areas in the College. The following students are eligible for tuition via the 16 to 19 tuition fund:
- Students who have not yet achieved a grade 6 in GCSE English and/or Maths at age 16 and would need catch-up support.
- Students from the 27% most economically deprived areas of the country (based on the index of multiple deprivation) and would need catch-up support.
- Students who are economically disadvantaged who meet the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund Eligibility Criteria and would need catch-up support to reach their full potential, even where their prior attainment is high.
The 16-19 tuition fund will be used to provide direct tuition which is additional to already planned programmes of study for 2023-24. Tuition will be delivered one-to-one and in small groups of up to 5 students.
