Excluded children left in limbo and long waiting lists
Get access to alternative provision with 48hrs
Across the United Kingdom, the number of permanent exclusions has surged. In fact, the 22 councils that provided exclusion data for last year saw an astonishing 61% rise in permanent exclusions.
While some PRUs have expanded their official capacity, many are stretched to their limits. Over a third of councils reported having waiting lists for PRU places this summer.
In response to the growing challenge, Tute recognises the critical importance of providing timely and high-quality education for these students. Tute’s Virtual School is specifically designed to support education partners nationwide with their pressing issues. Tute can help you if you’re:
- A school in need of alternative provision
- A non-mainstream setting in need of a quick and reliable approach to increase capacity
- A local authority in need of a swift solution for excluded students
With Tute, your students could be absent today, learning tomorrow

Track progress, engagement, and attendance with ease
A link teacher will have access to their own portal in Tute’s platform to view student information.
After every lesson, Tute teachers assess student progress and engagement in the platform against the scheme of learning objectives. They also provide a suggestion for the student’s progress.
Attendance is tracked in each lesson. If a student has not attended within 5 minutes, designated contacts (including parents if you wish) receive an email notification.
The link teacher can conveniently access comprehensive and summarized information through the platform, with the option to download reports for seamless sharing with others.
