Grant 1.8 Secondary School Targeted Grant
KS4 to KS5 data used:- T score used from ALPS (as this gives the
best indication of performance over the past 3 years.) The T score is calculated from the overall value added score, the % RED teaching and % BLUE teaching over 3 years. It factors in the number of subjects taken by pupils and performance in different subjects.
NOR index to factor in the size of the 6th forms.

One to One tuition
Ring fenced funding ( Grant 1.5)To secure improved pupil progress in English and MathsApproach adopted in the Making Good Progress pilotLA receives funding for specific numbers of pupils
in KS3 and KS4 ( national challenge only)
One to One tuition
Key points:-1. Cost for 10 hrs tuition + 2 hours planning and
liaison for up to 3.5% of the pupil cohort in KS2, 3 and in KS4 (National Challenge only)
2. Central funding to support LAs in their strategic role
3. Payment to school per pupil tutored4. Tutors must be qualified teachers5. Preferably takes place outside school hours
One to One tuition
Tuition to be offered to those pupils who:-• Entered the key stage behind the expected
level• Are not on track to reach national
expectations at the end of the key stage• Are looked after and would benefit from this
type of intervention
• One to one tuition is not a replacement for:- existing intervention strategies- quality first teaching Tuition may not be the most appropriate
intervention even if a pupil meets the criteria. Each case needs to be judged on the individual pupil, the specific targets that need to be addressed and the available intervention strategies (including tuition). Provision of tuition does not detract from the overriding need to ensure quality first teaching is the key driver to improving standards.
