We can demonstrate that our programme works and is an effective use of pupil premium funding
Despite starting the programme significantly behind age-related expectations, our pupils make on average double expected progress per term.
Our termly programmes are priced for schools at £200 per pupil.
How do Team Up ensure good quality?
-
Evidence-based programme model - 12 hours of tuition is shown to be the minimum required for tuition to make a meaningful impact on pupil progress, and our programmes offer between 12 and 15 hours of tuition per term
-
Trained tutors - extensive induction training, shared learning groups after every tuition session, and individual observations and coaching with a trained teacher
-
Structured curriculum resources - Team Up provides pupil resources and tutor lesson plans, which include structured recaps, explanations, modelling, answers and bi-weekly topic tests through which pupils receive more formal feedback and make improvements
-
Live session monitoring and intervention - Team Up’s Programme Managers support tutors and pupils during sessions with tutor teaching and pupil engagement
-
Survey feedback - Team Up survey pupils, tutors and school staff at the mid- and/or end-point of programmes and act on feedback immediately
How do Team Up measure and report impact to schools?
-
Using assessment - analysing and comparing results from start-of term baseline tests, bi-weekly topic tests during term, and end-of-term progress tests
-
Reporting weekly - tutors provide reports on pupil engagement, topic test attainment and pupil strengths and weaknesses, and in addition we provide attendance data and logistical updates
-
Reporting at half term and the end of term - formal school impact reports detailing and explaining pupil progress, attendance, engagement, survey feedback, focus pupils and suggested next actions for programme improvement
