Research School Network: NEW: Test a potentially high-impact and low-cost intervention in your school for free Trial a structured peer tutoring programme to support progress in Maths

For the academic year 2022 to 2023, all schools must make sure that their use of pupil premium aligns with the ​‘menu of approaches’ from the start of the year. Within the menu of approaches, targeted academic support includes types of interventions which are supported by research evidence.

Peer tutoring is highlighted by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) Teaching and Learning Toolkit as a potential high impact, low-cost intervention that is based on extensive research evidence. The advantage of peer tutoring is that both the tutees and tutors should benefit from the intervention, providing a double impact intervention for attainment and developing a range of wider outcomes.

WhatWorked is supporting primary schools to pilot a Year 3 cross-age peer tutoring programme using your own Year 5 peer tutors to run a six-session mathematics intervention in the summer term 2. The programme is free, including the resources and expert guidance on implementing and evaluating the intervention in your school.
