How it works
| Tuition type | Who it's for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Looked after and previously looked after children | Children in care, and previously looked after children, supported by a Virtual School | We plan the tuition with the Virtual School around the child's personal education plan (PEP). You can read how Pupil Premium Plus works on the looked after children page. |
| Children out of school | Children who are unwell, excluded or waiting for a school place | Home or online tuition arranged by the council, with a tutor who can easily reach the town (for example Winsford, Knutsford, Crewe). There is more on the children out of school page. |
| SEND and EHCP tuition | Children with an EHCP or on SEN support, arranged by the council SEN team, the school or parents | 1 to 1 tuition across Chester, Northwich, Crewe and Macclesfield, shaped around the child's needs. There is more on the SEND tuition page. |
| School catch up and exam preparation | Pupils working towards KS2 SATs, GCSEs or resits | Tuition your school pays for, for one pupil or a small group, for example a GCSE group in Wilmslow or primary catch up in Ellesmere Port. There is more on the catch up and exams page. |
Cheshire is a big county with two councils, so we look for a tutor close to the pupil's own town.
Looking for school staff rather than a tutor? Visit the Cheshire location page.
Call 0151 404 9965 or use the contact form. It helps if you can tell us:
We will then talk it through with you and agree a plan that suits the pupil.
Every tutor goes through our safer recruitment checks before they meet a pupil. That includes an enhanced DBS with a children's barred list check and references, in line with Keeping children safe in education 2026.
Cheshire has two local councils: Cheshire West and Chester Council, and Cheshire East Council. Each looks after its own children and has its own Virtual School Head.
Not really. Chester, Ellesmere Port, Neston, Northwich and Winsford are in Cheshire West and Chester. Crewe, Nantwich, Congleton, Knutsford, Wilmslow, Poynton and Macclesfield are in Cheshire East. Let us know the town, and we will look for a tutor close by.
Call 0151 404 9965 or use the contact form. Tell us the town and council area, the kind of tuition, the pupil's year group and subjects, and who is paying for it: the Virtual School, the council SEN team or the school. We will then agree a plan with you. Looking for school staff instead? Visit the Cheshire location page.
