New school partnerships in Hull, Leeds, Bradford and Dorset!
We are absolutely thrilled to share that Action Tutoring is expanding its reach even further across England! We are delighted to announce the launch of new school partnerships in Hull, Leeds, Bradford, and Dorset, bringing vital tutoring support to more young people who need them most.
This expansion marks a significant step in our mission to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to achieve their academic potential and build a bright future.
Why Hull, Leeds, Bradford and Dorset?
Establishing partnerships in these communities stems from our commitment to addressing educational inequality where the need is greatest. The attainment gap – the difference in academic outcomes between disadvantaged pupils and their peers – remains a pressing issue across the country, and a child’s postcode can have a huge impact on their attainment in school.
High-quality tutoring can be a powerful tool to help close this gap, providing targeted support that builds knowledge, confidence, and crucial study skills. By bringing our heavily-subsidised programmes to Hull, Leeds, Bradford, and Dorset, we aim to make this impactful support accessible to young people who might otherwise miss out.
‘We are incredibly excited about this expansion. These areas represent key areas where our targeted support can make a truly significant difference to young people’s lives. We’re looking forward to building strong partnerships with schools and witnessing the positive impact our dedicated tutors will have.’
– Rachael Galletly, Northern Programme Manager
What Action Tutoring does
Action Tutoring is an education charity dedicated to supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. We partner with primary and secondary schools to deliver consistent, small-group tuition in English and maths. Our volunteer tutors work closely with pupils in key year groups (typically Years 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11) to reinforce classroom learning, prepare for exams, and foster a love of learning.
Our programmes are designed to integrate seamlessly with school life, providing a valuable layer of additional support that complements the work already happening in classrooms.
“Action Tutoring gives pupils a real chance to engage in real catch up interventions which might otherwise not be available to Pupil Premium pupils. [We’re] really grateful for the input. I feel the routine really helps pupils to progress. It`s a potential life changer!”
– Steve Gittens, Executive Headteacher at Wallsend St. Peter’s in Newcastle

I decided to volunteer because education changed my own life. I was thrilled to see my pupils improve their grades last year. It’s so rewarding. Getting a Grade 4 or above makes such a difference to their prospects, whatever they want to pursue in the future.
