Tees Valley
We expanded into the Tees Valley town of Hartlepool in 2025,
where we supported 530 primary school pupils across 16
educational settings to reduce the attainment gap. 73% of
disadvantaged Year 6 pupils who took part in the programme
achieved the expected standard in their SATs exams.

This project was developed in response
to a direct request from a funding
partner. Following its success, we have
secured funding to continue this work
until June 2027. We’re now building on
the foundations we developed in the 昀椀rst
year, expanding our o昀昀er to secondary
schools, and exploring opportunities
in the North East.
Attainment
Provisional data released by the DfE
for 2024/25 shows a higher proportion

In Hartlepool, only 66% of disadvantaged
pupils met the EXS in reading, whilst 82%
of their non-disadvantaged peers achieved
it, creating a 16 percentage point (pp) gap.
However, Tutor Trust has narrowed this
gap for disadvantaged pupils receiving
tutoring, with 75% of pupils meeting the
EXS, reducing the gap by 9pp.
Similarly in maths, only 63% of
disadvantaged pupils met the EXS,
whilst 82% of their peers achieved it,
creating a 19pp gap. However, 71% of
disadvantaged pupils receiving tutoring
met the EXS, reducing the gap by 8pp.
