For the 2020/21 academic year, Oaklands College is in receipt of additional funding.

This 16-19 Tuition Fund is available to all 16 to 19 providers such as Oaklands College and is ring-fenced for 16 to 19 small group tuition only. The funding can be used to support small group tuition for 16 to 19 students in English, maths, and other courses where learning has been disrupted. Students must be on a 16 to 19 study programme and have not achieved grade 5 or above in GCSE maths and/or English by age 16. Students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) aged 19 to 24 who have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan will also be eligible for support via the 16 to 19 Tuition Fund.
 
Students will be identified through the use of the College’s student reviews boards, taking into consideration the criteria provided by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). Students will be prioritised based on the following criteria:

Maths and English catch-up support sessions will be prioritised for those students:

• who have been identified at “risk” during the student review board process
• with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan
• with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), particularly where they have experienced additional disruption to learning as a result of their specific needs and disabilities

Vocational support sessions will be prioritised for those students:

• who have been identified at “risk” during the student review board process
• where assessment has been deferred because of lockdown
• with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan

Tuition groups will be offered to eligible students and comprise of no more than five students. Tuition sessions will be scheduled in addition to the planned programme of study for the academic year of 2020/21 and may be delivered using a blend of online and on-site delivery.
 
Examples of some of the Tuition Support on offer will include:

GCSE live remote teaching 
• GCSE remote small group support
• Functional skills assessment preparation
