Important Information

Post 16 Funding 

The 16 to 19 tuition fund is an £160 million fund for the financial year 2025 to 2026. It is ring-fenced funding for schools, colleges and all other 16 to 19 providers to support small group tuition for 16 to 19 students in English, maths, and other courses where learning has been disrupted. For example, vocational courses where assessment has been deferred because of lockdown.

Although the actual tuition does not need to be for GCSE English or maths, the priority support will be for those students who had not achieved grade 4 or above in at least one of those subjects at this level by age 16.

South Nottinghamshire Academy will prioritise their share of funds to support 1:1 tuition and small group tuition to any student who did not achieve a grade 4 in English or Maths.

Any remaining funds will be used to support any student who did not achieve a grade 5 or above in at least one of those subjects at this level by age 16, and that we feel would benefit most from extra tuition to make up for lost teaching time.

This will all be in line with the Government guidance for the 16-19 Tuition Fund, found here.
