SATs headlines
1,273 Year 6 pupils received tutoring this year.
There is clear evidence from SATs results that
our pupils are making strong progress, and
our work is helping to narrow the attainment
gap for socially disadvantaged young people
in our regions.
Attainment
We have narrowed the attainment
gap in reading and maths for socially
disadvantaged pupils who received
our tuition compared to pupils in the
Local Authorities (LAs) we work in.8
Reading attainment
Progress
Progress for our pupils was strong. Pupils correctly
answered signi昀椀cantly more questions on their 昀椀nal SATs
papers compared to their mock paper after receiving tuition.
This progress means many of our pupils exceeded the
expected standard (EXS).
In the LAs we served, only 62% of
disadvantaged pupils met the EXS
in reading, whilst 80% of their nondisadvantaged peers achieved the same,
creating an 18 percentage point (pp) gap.
However, Tutor Trust has narrowed this
gap for disadvantaged pupils receiving
tutoring, with 69% of pupils meeting
the EXS, reducing the gap by 7pp.

Maths attainment
Similarly in maths, only 61% of
disadvantaged pupils met the EXS,
whilst 80% of their peers achieved it,
creating a 19pp gap. However, 65% of
disadvantaged pupils receiving tutoring
met the EXS, reducing the gap by 4pp.
Maths
Pupils reported feeling more prepared for their SATs.
They retained more knowledge and most importantly,
the majority of pupils went on to achieve the expected
standard in maths. Melissa Callender, Year 6 teacher,
