Qualitative process evaluation based on interviews with senior leaders, classroom teachers, tutors and pupils in eight secondary schools serving challenging communities, with three schools revisited across the three phases. The report also states a large majority of senior leaders interviewed were keen to work with the Tutor Trust again. Perceptions only; no attainment test supports this finding.
