A MESSAGE TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND SCHOOLS

As Managing Director of Tute, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible strain that schools and local authorities are under. The education landscape is facing challenges on a scale that many of us have never seen before. It’s not just the complexity of what you’re managing – it’s the overwhelming combination of pressures that makes this such an unprecedented time.

Challenges unlike any other

Schools are grappling with immense demands: reintegrating students who have become disengaged, reducing exclusions, and supporting learners with increasingly complex needs. At the same time, local authorities are tasked with bringing more provision in-house while operating under shrinking budgets. And, of course, all of this must happen against a backdrop of persistent absenteeism and rising mental health concerns that make the return to mainstream settings even harder for many students.

From the feedback we’ve received from partners, we know how these pressures play out on the ground. We hear of schools with no funding to provide even the most basic provision. We know of a local authority department with two people trying to manage over a thousand students. We’ve seen how, in many cases, the goals set for schools and local authorities simply feel impossible to achieve within the current system. The education sector has faced challenges before, but this moment is undoubtedly one of the most difficult.

We see you. We hear you. We’re here to help.

At Tute, we’re not just a service provider. We’re your partner. We understand that flexibility, affordability, and quality are non-negotiable in today’s climate. That’s why we’ve built a model that adapts to your needs, no matter how big or small:

• No contracts. No commitments. No upfront costs. Whether you need us for two days with one student or two years with ten, you’ll only pay for what you use.
• Exceptional value: Many are surprised by how affordable it is to implement a service like Tute. With over 30 subjects, high-quality delivery, pastoral support, parental support, and comprehensive monitoring, everything is included as standard. No hidden fees. No bolt-ons.
• Broad and bespoke: Our offering aligns with your goals, adapting to the challenges you’re facing, whether that’s meeting SEND needs, reducing exclusions, or providing for hard-to-reach students.

We are proud of the impact we’re making with our partners, but we know there’s so much more to do. We’re here to lighten your load, support your goals, and make sure that no student is left without the education they deserve.

This is not a sales pitch.

This is the reality we’re seeing every day – through our conversations with partners, our work within the sector, and the stories coming out of schools and local authorities. We are deeply invested in an education system that enables every child, anywhere, to achieve their full potential. This vision drives everything we do. Our commitment goes beyond providing a service; it’s about standing alongside you, understanding the challenges you face, and doing everything we can to help you overcome them.

We are your partner, not just a provider. 

To every school leader, teacher, commissioner, and local authority team working tirelessly to meet the needs of your students: we see the challenges you’re facing. We’re ready to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to explore how Tute can support you in making a real difference.

Together, we can navigate these challenges, deliver better outcomes, and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Here to support you,

Vanessa Leach.
