Education policy is constantly evolving, but the recently introduced Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is set to have a particularly significant effect. The Bill places a greater emphasis on student wellbeing, attendance, and attainment – three areas that are closely linked to the role tutoring can play in education.
So, what does this mean for families, schools, and the demand for tutoring?
A focus on wellbeing
The Bill highlights the importance of supporting children’s mental health and overall wellbeing within schools. This shift recognises that a child’s emotional state directly affects their ability to learn. While schools will take on more responsibility in this area, families may also look for additional academic support outside the classroom to ease pressure and build confidence.
Tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where students can learn at their own pace, ask questions without fear, and rebuild self-belief – all of which support their wellbeing.
Tackling attendance and attainment gaps
One of the aims of the Bill is to improve attendance across schools, as well as address gaps in attainment. For students who miss lessons due to illness, anxiety, or other challenges, personalised tutoring can help them catch up quickly and stay on track.
With qualified teachers working one-to-one online, tutoring offers an effective way to fill knowledge gaps and prevent pupils from falling further behind.
Increased demand for targeted academic support
As schools adapt to new expectations around wellbeing and progress, demand for targeted, flexible support is likely to rise. Tutoring can complement classroom teaching by:
Reinforcing key topics and skills.
Offering tailored revision and exam preparation.
Supporting students with specific learning needs or gaps.
For many families and schools, tutoring will become a valuable tool to meet the higher standards and responsibilities introduced by the Bill.
