slightly less progress in English and mathematics for participants

Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

Participating pupils made slightly less progress in both English and mathematics than those in the matched comparison group. However, this finding was not statistically significant, meaning that it could have occurred by chance. Overall, it is not clear from this evaluation whether the approach had an impact on student learning. A large majority of tuition was delivered in small groups rather than one to one, but the evaluation was not able to assess the relative impact of different group sizes. Only pupils who received some tuition in both primary and secondary were included in the analysis.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
The evaluation used a quasi-experimental design, which enabled a comparison to be made between participating pupils and other pupils who were similar in terms of their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. A weakness of this design is that it does not take into account the unobservable characteristics of pupils, such as their motivation or the quality of the leadership in their schools. As a result, the findings are less secure than findings from randomised controlled trials. The qualitative fieldwork undertaken was based on the views of 13 senior leaders; 7 classroom teachers; 21 Year 6 pupils and 16 Year 7 pupils who had received tutoring; and 10 tutors.
