National Tutoring Programme: guidance for schools, academic year 2023/24

The NTP was launched in November 2020. The DfE has confirmed that the 2023/2024 academic year is the fourth and final year of the NTP. The government has said schools should use the final year of the NTP to consider how they will deliver and fund tutoring in school in the future. The DfE has said, however, that considerations are being made as to how the government can support the delivery of the long-term ambition to embed tutoring in schools.
