Frequently asked questions

How do most schools fund Third Space Learning?

Our schools fund the intervention through a variety of different means. Many schools use their Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium budgets. As an approved National Tutoring Programme (NTP) Tuition Partner, schools are also able to use their ring-fenced tuition funding. For 23/24, schools will receive £67.50 per eligible pupil, which can be used to cover up to 50% of the costs of tutoring. This funding is designed specifically for schools to implement tuition as best fits their needs but external providers must be approved by the DfE. Third Space Learning is the most affordable DfE-approved one to one tutoring provider.

How will my quote be calculated?

Pricing for all intervention programmes is based on the number of pupils you’re looking to support and how long you’d like to sign up for. There are discounts available for 6 and 9-term contracts, as well as school clusters and Multi Academy Trusts. We’ll always try to take your school’s individual circumstances into consideration so it’s difficult to show exact pricing before we’ve spoken to you to understand your school’s requirements and timeframes.

Where can I get a rough idea of costs?

One to one tutoring from Third Space Learning is on average 50% cheaper than running one to one interventions with existing school staff and 56% cheaper than the average cost of one to one tutoring from DfE-approved tutoring providers. Because all Third Space Learning tuition is delivered online via our global tutor community, your pupils can receive hyper-personalised one to one tuition for the price many other providers charge for small group sessions.

Is this suitable for all school sizes and budgets?

Yes. We work with schools of all sizes across the country, from small rural schools with less than 20 pupils on roll to schools with 1,000+ pupils. There’s no minimum or maximum number of pupils you can sign up to receive the weekly lessons and we’ll always do our best to work with your budget.

What's included in the price?

You’ll receive full access to the Third Space Learning intervention platform, where your pupils will be able to sit their initial diagnostic assessment and take part in their weekly sessions. You’ll also receive a comprehensive selection of reports highlighting gaps diagnosed before the programme, how your pupils are getting on each week, how they’re progressing over time and the results of their end-of-programme assessment. We’ll send out headsets for your pupils to use in their sessions free of charge, including any replacement headsets required throughout the duration of the programme. As well as the assessments, weekly sessions and reports for your target pupils, primary schools will receive full access to all resources in our KS1 and KS2 online resource library, The Third Space Maths Hub, at no additional cost. We also have thousands of GCSE revision resources available for secondary schools.
