This is the latest dataExperimental statistics
This publication contains statistics for the National Tutoring Programme for the 2022/23 Academic Year. The data covers England only.
You can find finalised statistics for the National Tutoring Programme for the 2021/22 Academic Year here.
The National Tutoring Programme (NTP) is a scheme that provides support for pupils and students most affected by disruption to their education as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In the 2022 to 2023 academic year, the Department for Education (DfE) provided core funding for the NTP directly to schools to enable them to decide how best to provide tutoring for their pupils. There are 3 routes to providing tuition: academic mentors, tuition partners and school-led tutoring.
This publication provides, for 2022/23:
- national, regional, local authority and school phase level estimates of the total number of starts made by pupils on NTP courses up to 19th January 2023
- national, regional, local authority and school phase level estimates of the percentages of schools participating in the NTP up to 19th January 2023
- national, regional and school phase level estimates of the characteristics of pupils who received tutoring up to 6th October 2022.
The publication also includes estimates for the total number of starts made by pupils on NTP courses since NTP began in 2020/21.
For 2022/23, DfE simplified our process for collecting data on participation in NTP. In 2021-22, we had three separate data collection mechanisms for each of the three NTP routes (see the methodology for details). This publication uses data captured as part of the Autumn 2022 and Spring 2023 school census, but does not capture information on NTP route. Detailed statistics for NTP in previous years, including breakdown by routes, can be found here.

These statistics are experimental statistics undergoing evaluation. They have been developed under the guidance of the Head of Profession for Statistics and published to involve users and stakeholders at an early stage in assessing their suitability and quality.
Experimental official statistics have been produced as far as possible in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics.
