16-19 Tuition Fund
Small group Tuition Funding
The funding can be used to support small group tuition for 16-19 students in English, Maths and other courses where learning may have been disrupted. All students will be on a 16-19 programme. The subjects covered in the tuition are not limited to English and maths but will be identified according to need.
North Kesteven Academy commits to using the small group tuition funding that it has been given to mitigate against the impact of the pandemic on our students. Sessions will be limited to no more than 5 students to ensure students receive the necessary input.
