Data is based on responses to the Year End Statement as of 1st December 2023.
Estimates of the number of courses is based on hours of tutoring received. Pupils may undertake more than one course. See the methodology for further details.
Data in this table is not directly comparable with information on pupil characteristics within this publication, which is based on data from the School Census.
Figures may not always sum to totals exactly, due to rounding.
Schools includes open schools with pupils aged between 5 and 16. See the methodology for further details.
Estimates of the average number of hours per course is based on hours of tutoring and the number of courses. Pupils may undertake more than one course. As the methodology for the number of courses delivered assumes a maximum length of 16 hours per course this is likely to represent an underestimate of the average course length. See the methodology for further details.
A school is considered to participate where it has stated that it delivered tutoring through the NTP in its Year End Statement, has been allocated funding to deliver tutoring through the NTP, and is not identified as an outlier. See the methodology for further details.
The number of pupils that received tutoring is reported by schools in the Year End Statement. See the methodology for further information.

These estimates are based on data from the School Census. Pupil characteristics are updated in the Spring 2023 School Census. Information on pupils in receipt of tutoring is taken from the Summer 2023 School Census. See the methodology for further information.
The data in this table is not directly comparable with statistics for the complete 2022/23 academic year that are contained within this publication, because the latter are based on information provided by schools through the Year End Statement responses.
Delivery of tutoring in Independent Special Schools and centrally arranged for Looked After Children is not measured in the school census and is therefore not included here.
