National Tutoring Programme (NTP)
The Access Project is an approved National Tutoring Programme Tuition Partner supporting disadvantaged students through high quality tuition. We are proud to be taking part in the national effort to help the young people who have missed out the most as a result of the pandemic.

What is the National Tutoring Programme?
The NTP has been designed by a collaboration of five charities – the Education Endowment Foundation, Sutton Trust, Impetus, Nesta and Teach First – working in partnership with the Department for Education. The programme aims to support schools in England by providing a sustained response to the coronavirus pandemic and to provide a longer-term contribution to closing the attainment gap.

Where do we work?
TAP partners with non-selective state schools with high numbers of students on Free School Meals, receiving Pupil Premium funding or with low levels of progression to top universities. We work with schools in the following regions:
- East Midlands: East Derbyshire and South Nottinghamshire,
- London: Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea , Hackney and Newham, Tower Hamlets, Haringey and Islington, Lewisham and Southwark, Lambeth, Westminster Bexley and Greenwich, Enfield
- West Midlands: Birmingham and Sandwell
- Yorkshire and Humber: Bradford
As part of the National Tutoring Programme we can work with 1,015 young people in 38 schools.
With a decade’s worth of experience forming deep partnerships with schools we have proven impact:
- GCSE students who work with TAP for two years make five months more progress in their tutored subject than similarly disadvantaged peers.
- A young person who has participated in The Access Project’s programme are four times as likely to attend top universities as similarly disadvantaged peers, according to UCAS data.
Our trained and DBS checked volunteers will tutor 40 of your students (KS4) in a weekly one-to-one session across the academic year. Our unique programme combines tuition with a dedicated member of Access Project staff based in your school who works with the students on the programme, providing expert advice from year 10 to build their knowledge and understanding of universities and courses, and providing one-to-one support and advice on applications and interviews.
