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 area (for example Speke, Walton, Childwall). 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 north and south Liverpool, including Anfield, Wavertree and Woolton, 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 the north of the city or primary catch up in the south. There is more on the catch up and exams page. |
Liverpool is a big city, so we look for a tutor close to the pupil's part of it.
Looking for school staff rather than a tutor? Visit the Liverpool 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.
Liverpool City Council. A child looked after by another council stays with that council's Virtual School, even if they live or go to school in Liverpool. For supply staff, see the Liverpool location page.
