Finished the week with our programme being tweeted by the man himself 😍

Week 1 back to school done, hope everyone managed ok. For those on free school meals did you know you might qualify for the National Tutoring Programme to boost learning? Speak to your school if you think your child could qualify. The help is there ♥️📚

[The Sutton Trust @suttontrust]

We’re so pleased to see the expansion of the @NTProgramme, as there is strong evidence for the effectiveness of tutoring.

To be as effective as possible, we’d like to see the NTP embedded as a long-term intervention to support disadvantaged pupils in the state school system.

[Protocol Education @ProtocolEd]

💡 This webinar is your opportunity to hear industry leaders unpicking the additional funding and benefits to pupils!

HUGE shout out to everyone working hard in vaccine centres up and down the country 🙌🏼💉 Just had my first #COVID19Vaccine through #LambethGPFederation (asthmatic). So impressed with the streamlined process: 5 minutes from arrival to completed!

❤️❤️❤️

A reminder...

@brgadsby @nflmemes Hahaha. Was nice knowing you 🤚🏼

Investing in early years makes sense for every reason: socially, morally, economically 👶🧸

[Jon Hutchinson @jon_hutchinson_]

I’ve been spending more time in our nursery recently and am just in awe of what the staff achieve there, especially with our most challenging friends. Transformational.

We could save billions of pounds, millions of hours and so much stress & difficulty by investing more in 0-5.

How did we get from nearly 400 applicants to only 33 Approved Providers? Take a read of our recent blog on this

[National Tutoring Programme @NTProgramme]

NEW: How did the @EducEndowFoundn choose our 33 approved Tuition Partners? Tutoring Liaison Manager @LibertyKing1 explains the criteria used to assess organisations for quality, experience and impact.

By coincidence: exactly 6 years ago today, as Vice President of the USA, Joe Biden sent this note to his staff.

I presume in the background, thoughts of his first wife & daughter who died long ago; or his son, who died of cancer just a few months after this note.

Worth reading.

@MrsSpalding The NTP Tuition Partners pillar is being evaluated by NFER to test the impact, effectiveness and take-up of the programme!

[Liberty King @LibertyKing1]

Stellar article in The Economist - good to see the focus on evaluation!

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Britain's market for tutoring is something of a Wild West, making it hard for schools to identify high-quality providers. The National Tutoring Programme hopes to impose some order https://t.co/gcCLRcvKnh

What an absolute legend - this is the kind of leadership America needs to see 🙌🏼

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I’m thinking about my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the generations of Black women who came before me who believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible.

Biden 2020! Things are looking up 🥳 #Biden #TrumpvsBiden

[Liberty King @LibertyKing1]

So great to see the @NTProgramme already making a difference 🙌🏼

[South Norwood TPA 🐝 @SouthNorwoodTPA]

Year 6 have started their weekly tutoring sessions today with @ActionTutoring thanks to the @NTProgramme. Each child has a remote tutor to support with their Maths learning. 🐝

[Liberty King @LibertyKing1]

📣 We are live! 📣 The @NTProgramme launches today! It’s been a sprinting marathon to say the least, but I am so proud of my team who has worked so hard to get to this point 🙌🏼

Still trying to decide which of these will be me by the end of the day today....

[Liberty King @LibertyKing1]

Highlighted this in my teaching days when students were asked to describe ‘a day at the beach’ - those who haven’t ever visited a beach are already limited in the scope of their description due to
lack of the necessary sensory experience #culturalbias

[Tes magazine @tes]

Some GCSE languages questions, such as those asking students to describe a skiing holiday, put poorer students at a disadvantage, warn teachers https://t.co/xRpRNtuL2s

[Liberty King @LibertyKing1]

Great feeling talking to hundreds of schools just now about how they can get involved in the @NTProgramme 🙌🏼 I’m also participating in the @TeacherToolkit webinar tomorrow evening so make sure you tune in!

[Ben Gadsby @BRGadsby]

As a reminder, the evidence shows you can get almost as much impact with 3:1 tutoring - and of course that reaches three times as many pupils

[The Sutton Trust @suttontrust]

Our latest report highlights the impact school closures will have on disadvantaged pupils in the years to come.

Robbie Coleman, Director of the @NTProgramme Secretariat, shares how the National Tutoring Programme can help.
