The 16 – 19 Tuition Fund 2021 to 2022 Academic Year

What is the 16-19 tuition fund?

The 16-19 tuition fund for 2021/22 is a follow on from the one-off funding for the 2020-21 academic year only. It is ring fenced funding for schools, colleges and all other 16 to 19 providers to mitigate the disruption to learning arising from coronavirus. The funding should be used to support small group tuition for 16 to 19 students in English, maths, and other Level 2 or 3 courses where learning has been disrupted. The criteria for students to be eligible for learning support via this funding stream is as follows:

• Students who had not secured a grade 4 - 5 or above in English and / or Maths at GCSE
• Students who had secured a grade 4 or above in English and / or Maths and are from an economically disadvantaged area
