Our impact in 2024-25 – a snapshot
We’re helping to close the attainment gap. Here’s a snapshot of our 2024–25 impact data – a look at the difference Action Tutoring helped make for the pupils we worked with.
We mobilised 1,401 tutors to deliver 42,479 sessions in maths and English, reaching over 3,700 high-potential pupils, through partnerships with 102 schools. We expanded our delivery into more high-need, underserved communities including Blackpool, Cumbria, Devon, and Dorset.
Primary schools
After attending 10 or more sessions with Action Tutoring, 73% of pupils achieved the expected standard in their maths and 81% achieved the expected standard in their Reading SATs. In fact for the first time this year, we closed the attainment gap in Reading – our Year 6 pupils met the national reading standard at the same rate as their non-disadvantaged peers.
Action Tutoring pupils were 20% more likely to meet the expected standard in maths and 29% more likely to meet the expected standard in Reading than other disadvantaged pupils nationwide in their SATs.
Teachers choose children to take part in Action Tutoring programmes who they know are at particular risk of not meeting this benchmark in their key stage 2 SATs. This makes their achievement all the more meaningful.
Secondary schools
60% of pupils passed their GCSE maths and 57% passed their GCSE English (after attending 10 or more sessions with Action Tutoring), compared to 53% and 52% of disadvantaged pupils nationally.
Action Tutoring pupils were 13% more likely to pass GCSE maths and 10% more likely to pass English than disadvantaged peers nationally.
An independently quality-assured study found our pupils achieve similar outcomes whether they are tutored online or face-to-face.
