A.C.E Tutors for Pupil Premium students - Cleeve Meadow Pilot
Pupil Premium project Jan 2021- July 2021
The role of the A.C.E Tutors is to be the advocate for students who may otherwise struggle in silence, for students who may be juggling an array of responsibilities, for students who may just need someone to believe in them.
This type of support is valuable because:
- It provides bespoke support for students’ individual needs
- A.C.E Tutors can unpick student issues in the classroom and any barriers to learning.
- Targeted support can be arranged for students who need academic intervention
- It means that support for students can be signposted before small issues develop into bigger issues.
- It develops relationships with Pupil Premium families who may be difficult to reach
- It increases parental engagement
- It forms part of schools’ attendance strategies by developing a strong relationship between home and school
- It gives students a voice in school
- It can provide aspiration for students who may not have had such direction before
