16-19 Tuition Fund Statement

The purpose of this statement is to set out how Elstree Screen Arts will use its 16 to 19 tuition fund allocation to support students who have been academically disadvantaged due to COVID-19.

How ESA will use the 16 to 19 Tuition Fund

Elstree is eligible to receive £10,203 from the 16 to 19 Tuition Fund it will be used to provide small group tuition for students aged 16 to 19 who have not yet achieved a grade 5 or above in English, Maths and other courses where learning has been disrupted.

The provision will not be limited to tuition for English and maths: it will also be used to support students on vocational courses where assessments have been disrupted because of lockdown.

Students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who require additional tuition to help them catch up with their studies will also be supported by this provision.

Examples of the Tuition Support on offer:

  • GCSE exam re-sit preparation

  • Functional skills assessment preparation

  • Vocational knowledge catch-up sessions

  • Bespoke subject support/catch-up

Tuition Support offered will be based on an individual needs assessment, the identification of an individual starting point, clear learning goals, expectations and outcomes.
