Courses

Yes! Many do this and it means that the timetable can fit your students’ needs. Courses are commissioned privately mainly to add capacity to a setting’s team or to simply add curriculum choice. See the information on A levels - GCSEs can be orgnised in the saem way. 

No, there’s no such thing at Tute. Use whatever you need, with any student—no swapping required.

No, exam entry is the responsibility of the partner school or local authority. While we deliver all teaching, learning, and assessments, the administrative aspect of entering students for their exams is managed by the school or authority as Tute is not an exam centre.

The content and timetable for this curriculum are pre-set by Tute, with students accessing the lessons from various settings. This ensures consistent delivery across different locations.

 If you have specific requirements, you can commission a Course privately to suit your timetable and to be exclusive for your students only. Please discuss with your partner success specialist to explore available options.

Simply complete an enrolment form! You can find one in your Partner Hub. If you’re unsure or need assistance, contact your dedicated partner success specialist (PSS), who manages your setting’s account with Tute.

Partners have access to their own admin portal in our platform, where a comprehensive dashboard and data set help you make informed decisions about students and their learning.

Each half term, teachers write progress reports that summarise student progress and provide target and currently-working-at grades. These are available in the platform for partners, students, and parents.

At Tute, we recognise the importance of parental engagement in supporting students' success. While we cannot take sole responsibility for communication or act on parents' instructions, we actively involve them through various means. Our parent support associates (PSAs) provide platform tours, webinars, and answer questions, ensuring parents stay informed. Additionally, parents have read-only access to the platform to monitor their child's programmes, progress, and attendance. However, decision-making remains with the commissioning partner.

While Courses operate on a fixed timetable, it offers flexibility in creating personalised schedules that cater to each student’s unique needs. 

Courses operate on a fixed timetable, but it offers flexibility in how that timetable is utilised. Partners can select from different programmes and build personalised schedules that meet the specific needs of individual students. While the lesson times are set, partners can choose different subjects to create a tailored educational experience that aligns with their students' academic requirements.

Feedback is an integral part of all Tute curriculums, with regular updates provided to both schools and students. Your dedicated partner success specialist will keep you informed throughout the process.

If teachers believe that the student requires additional support, or needs to access a different tier or learning, they will let you know. 

48 hours is our standard turnaround time, but our amazing team often gets it done even quicker!

No. Use Course for as long as you feel is right for your student. We expect it to be long-term but know that things can change quickly. 

As with all Tute curriculums, there’s no contract and no minimum commitment—you use what you need, when you need it, in any mix, with any student, and we invoice you at the end of each half term. We’re committed to supporting our partners in meeting the goals they set for each individual student, knowing that looks different for everyone.

Of course, we offer core subjects like English, Maths, and Science. But we believe our students deserve more, so we've built a rich curriculum that includes 14 subjects (more if commissioned privately!). These subjects are aligned with the main exam boards to ensure students are fully prepared for their GCSEs. For Key Stage 3, while the courses do not lead to qualifications, students have access to a broad curriculum covering similar subjects, designed to build a strong educational foundation as they progress in their learning journey.

To truly enrich their learning, we’ve added Enrichment Wednesdays, where students can dive into topics like online safety, mental health, well-being, and our strong SMSC programme. It’s all about giving them the same opportunities as their peers in mainstream education—plus some extra tools to thrive.

Students will need a device with internet access to participate in the Virtual School. The platform is designed to be accessible and user-friendly, ensuring students can easily engage with the lessons.
