I am a trustee of Catch Up which supports children with reading and mathematics in Primary and Secondary schools. Just a few minutes three times a week of one-to-one tuition has been proven to make a big difference to children’s performance in reading and maths – see this report for the evidence: http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/research/data/uploadfiles/RR380.pdf (Its a long document! Catch Up is on Page 24)
Catch Up is supported by funding from various trusts but also sells its quality assured training to schools and LAs around the UK.
