…and a range of characteristics Boys, deprived children, those with special educational needs
and mobile pupils all progress at lower rates than their peers from Key Stage 2 to 4;
Girls, and those with English as an additional language progress at a higher rate than their peers from Key Stage 2 to 4.
Ethnic Groups with a lower proportion of FSM pupils generally achieve higher thresholds

85% of pupils at Level or above at KS1 went on to meet the 5A*-C including English and Maths threshold, compared to 7% of those at Level 1;
Poor performance at KS1 appears to exclude the possibility of very high performance at GCSE. 01% of those at Level 1 at KS1 achieved 3 A/A* grades at GCSE.

Making Good Progress
One-to-One Tuition - selection criteria
Pupils who entered the key stage below age related expectations
Pupils who are falling behind trajectory during the latter stages of a key stage
Looked after children who would particularly benefit from this support
This selection must not exclude pupils because they are considered harder to reach and/or are considered to have behaviour issues
One-to-One Tuition - the parameters One to one 10 hours (plus 2 hours liaison/planning/training) Suggested minimum of one hour per session Delivered by a qualified tutor Based on targets agreed between class teacher,
tutor and pupil Not a replacement for other intervention strategies
but part of available suite Can be delivered flexibly during or outside the
school day
Tutored pupils keep upThe final report of Making Good Progress found tuition had a positive impact on pupil progress. In particular:
Tutored pupils with the lowest KS1 results outperformed their peers at KS2; In reading, pupils progressed in line with their peers – a significant achievement given
they were selected for tuition because they were stuck in their learning. 75% teachers surveyed confirmed the impact of tuition on pupil progression.

Pupils who didn't achieve the expected level at KS1 and went on to receive tuition outperformed their peers at KS2
These charts demonstrate that children who were likely not to make level 4 or make 2 levels of progress and received tuition were able to keep up with those who were on target to meet national expectations.
One-to-One Tuition – early feedback......
An hour is too long Pupils would prefer one to two or three Pupils will not want to stay after school or have
sessions at the weekend Young pupils will be too tired at the end of the day Pupils will be stigmatised You can’t deliver tuition during the school day You can’t send a tutor to the pupil’s home
And some further questions.....
We are currently exploring the following:
What does good quality one-to-one tuition look like in different key stages? ...in different subjects...?
In what ways should we measure impact?
Are there other questions that we should be considering?
