Looked after and previously looked after children
Who it's for
Children in care, and previously looked after children, supported by a Virtual School
How it works
Virtual Schools, council SEN and commissioning teams, and schools across Leeds can contact GAC Education to find a tutor. We look for someone within easy reach of the pupil, then work with you on a plan that fits their needs.

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 place (for example Garforth, Bramley, Horsforth). 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 the district, including Headingley, Beeston, Pudsey and Otley, 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 Pudsey or primary catch up in Chapel Allerton. There is more on the catch up and exams page. |
Leeds is a big district, and Otley is a very different journey from Beeston, so we look for a tutor close to where the pupil lives or learns.
Looking for school staff rather than a tutor? Visit the Leeds location page.
Call 0113 460 1938 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.
Leeds City Council. Children looked after by Leeds stay with the Leeds Virtual School, even if they go to school outside the district.
Yes. We cover the whole district, from Headingley, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Horsforth, Bramley and Beeston to towns such as Pudsey, Morley, Rothwell, Garforth and Otley. Just tell us where the pupil is and we will look for someone nearby.
Call 0113 460 1938 or use the contact form. Tell us the place in the district, the kind of tuition, the pupil's year group and subjects, what you would like the tuition to achieve, and who is paying for it. Looking for school staff instead? Visit the Leeds location page.
