TUTOR for Primaries
TUTOR for Primaries
Eye CofE Primary School uses TUTOR as its homework strategy so that students are always working on maths at an appropriate level, alongside the maths they are learning in their lessons. In terms of teacher workload, this is a completely hands-off approach, and teachers need only monitor the Goals pupils are completing each week.
Hollie’s team runs class competitions to further encourage pupils to engage with TUTOR outside of school, and reward pupils when they do.

“We're doing competitions across the year groups - the year five classes were competing to see who could get the most goals as a class effort, and we held a pizza party for the year sixes who completed a certain amount of goals over the holiday.”

“Parents are very engaged with TUTOR and the children work very quietly on their TUTOR homework. This makes for very happy parents!”
Nick Williams, Assistant Headteacher, Coten End Primary School
This is echoed at Coten End Primary School, where 75% of pupils are engaging with TUTOR consistently each week since implementing TUTOR as their homework strategy. Rather than taking a completely hands-off approach, Coten End teachers use a Bespoke Course to set homework which they edit to include the ideas they want the pupils to be working on. Their teachers find this a really quick and easy way to set homework.

At Bromham CofE Primary School, pupils use TUTOR during registration to access their TUTOR courses. Pupils could be working on a teacher-assigned or TUTOR-assigned course — teachers can use this time to secure the prerequisite knowledge that they will be teaching in their maths lesson later that day.

“It's nice because they all use headphones for it, so it's a quiet space for them to think, and actually some of them said they don't usually get homework help from their parents so it really helps them. I think some parents are often a bit afraid [of maths homework].”

“When I introduced TUTOR, I wanted the children to first imagine a maths house, what they would like to have in their maths house. Then, I asked them what we need for our house to be stable - houses have piles in the ground, the foundations. I liken these to, for example, number bonds and times tables as these are fundamental foundations of maths. In order for us to have brilliant rooms in our maths house, like for example, algebra and percentages, we really need to have a good understanding of the things that come before them. Then, I introduce TUTOR and I tell them it is a tool that's going to help them to get these foundations really firmly in place before they can have a really super maths house!”
