16-19 Tuition Fund
Bath College are committed to creating the best chances for all learners. During the pandemic we have seen our 16-19 learners suffer from many of the negative impacts of disruptions in education, social exposure and general support and however supportive families and online learning have been during this time, we believe that there is no substitute for face-to-face teaching, learning and assessment.
The College is committed to utilising the 16-19 Tuition Fund to support the following groups of learners:
- Learners who have not achieved a grade 4 or 5 in English and maths. This support will take place over and above planned study programme delivery, in small groups.
- Learners from disadvantaged backgrounds who may need additional catch-up support. These learners will be targeted for individual support.
- Learners with Education, Health & Care plans who may need additional support as a result of reduced face to face teaching in the last twelve months. This support will take place in small groups.
- Learners on more practical subjects who have missed out on developing technical skills, experience and key assessments due to the disruption in face-to-face delivery in the last twelve months.
