Full Funding Details Confirmed for National Tutoring Programme 2022-23

Full Funding Details Confirmed for National Tutoring Programme 2022-23

Date posted : 09 August 2022

The Department for Education has revealed funding details for the National Tutoring Programme. Schools can now find out how much money they will receive over the 2022/23 academic year.

As we reported in the spring, the government had already pledged to simplify the NTP’s funding model.

The School-Led Tutoring route becomes the default way of accessing funding from September. This means that schools will no longer have to apply for this funding.

Instead, the DfE will pay this money directly into schools' accounts. Schools can then choose to spend their grants on their own choice of tuition staff.

These might be supply teachers and specialist support workers to free up a school's own staff. Alternatively, schools can hire academic mentors or tutors from an official Tuition Partner


Funding will cover 60% of tuition costs

Schools will receive enough money to cover 60% of the total cost of their tuition efforts.

This is calculated by the number of pupil premium-eligible pupils and by the type of school.


  • Mainstream schools receive £162 per PP-eligible pupil
  • Non-mainstream schools receive £423 per PP-eligible pupil


Maximum hourly rates

The NTP will only cover a certain hourly spend per pupil. For AY 2022/23, this stands at:

  • £18 for mainstream schools, of which £10.80 (60%) will be subsidized by the DfE
  • £47 for non-mainstream schools, of which £28.20 (60%) will be subsidized by the DfE

Schools must record their total hours of tutoring delivered and their total spend. They provide these figures in their funding return to the DfE at the end of the academic year. Their reimbursement is then capped accordingly.

A school which has spent over the cap will recoup 60% of their total costs.

The DfE expects schools to provide a package of 15 hours of tutoring for each pupil.


First payment allocations

The DfE has published each school’s exact funding allocation for the first payment. This will arrive in schools' accounts in the autumn.

Calculations accord to the pupil numbers provided in the October 2021 school census.

You can find your school’s funding allocation here.


How Teaching Personnel can help you

With the NTP entering its third year, tutoring is more than a temporary pandemic response. All signals point to small-group tuition becoming a core part of the learning mix in the long-term.

Government funding for the NTP-proper will taper off after next year. We expect to then see more pupil premium funding spent on this model of tutoring.

Schools need to embed tutoring into their provision. That means finding partners whose experience and expertise you can always rely on.

Teaching Personnel has supplied schools with high quality educators for almost thirty years. As official NTP Tuition Partners since 2020, we have delivered over 200,000 hours of tutoring.

Schools now have considerable freedom to arrange their own tuition programmes. Our army of rigorously-trained tutors are on hand to deliver high-quality sessions.

If you’d rather use your own staff, our supply teachers and support workers can step in to free up their time.

However you wish to help your pupils catch up, we can help you. All you have to do is get in touch.
