  • students from the most economically deprived areas of the country based on the index of multiple deprivation

Tuition Support offered will be based on learners’ individual needs and those who will benefit most from small group tuition. These sessions will be delivered as below:

  • small groups of up to 5 students, however in exceptional circumstances this may be extended to up to 7 students as outlined in the conditions below:
  1. where workshop space is at a premium
  2. if the absence of a member of staff requires the merger of 2 existing groups on a temporary basis
