Equal Education

We provide specialist 1 to 1 tuition for under-resourced students. This includes Children Looked After (CLA), those with SEND, and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC).

About us: 

Equal Education is a social enterprise, offering a range of specialist tutoring programmes that provide extra support for under-resourced and vulnerable students. We are working to narrow the attainment gap and improve outcomes for these learners by providing 1:1 access to our tutors, both online and in person, who are all qualified teachers with extensive experience of supporting young people with a range of SEND and SEMH needs. 

Impact, Outcomes and Key Performance Indicators

We take a comprehensive and outcome-based approach to develop a robust framework for evaluating the impact of our practices:

  • Multi-agency collaboration
  • Safer recruitment processes - qualified teachers
  • Rigorous allocation process to match tutor with student
  • Session reports - learning, progress, concerns, attendance
  • Impact evaluation framework - surveys and check ins
  • Self-evaluation - regular reviews of our performance and processes 

How to access?

In-person and online (including an iPad lease programme)

How we deliver:

We provide up to 17.5 hours of tuition per week on a tuition schedule tailored to the needs of the young person.

How we report attendance 

All of our tutors are required to submit a session report after each scheduled tuition which details attendance, lesson objective, content covered, comprehension and engagement. These session reports are compiled into monthly reports which provide attendance statistics as well as information on progress.

Our tutors submit cancellation reports immediately, which detail the reason why, allowing our Support team to investigate further when required. We share cancellation reports immediately with the commissioner, on the day of tuition. If there are regular cancellations, our support team takes further action to closely monitor attendance and find solutions to improve engagement e.g. changing/reducing the timetable, changing location of tuition, etc.
