We are delighted to share the publication of our latest report exploring the impact of our GCSE Resit Tuition Programme. The report looks at our impact across four academic years, 2021-2025.
At Get Further, we believe every young person should have access to the support they need to succeed in English and maths. That is why we provide students resitting their GCSEs with tailored, small-group tuition delivered by expertly trained tutor to complement classroom learning, build confidence, and accelerate progress.
We are delighted to share that, for students who attended a term or more of tuition:
- GCSE maths pass rates were 55% higher than the national average.
- GCSE English pass rates were 72% higher than the national average.
- In both subjects, students made around three times as much progress as the national average.
For student from disadvantaged backgrounds, our impact was even greater:
- GCSE English pass rates were nearly three times higher than the national average for students facing disadvantage.
- GCSE maths pass rates were more than twice as high as the national average for students facing disadvantage.
This year’s report highlights the powerful difference that high‑quality, targeted tuition can make, and the progress that’s possible when barriers to support are removed. That impact is reflected not only in the data, but in the voices of students themselves:
“It has been so rewarding to have had to resit my GCSEs and worry I wouldn’t pass to then move onto something I’ve dreamed of doing. I have never been happier with my career path! I’ve just been offered a manager position for meaningful engagement at a dementia specialist care home. I started as an assistant and worked my way up to now handling budgets, rotas and external support in providing the best positive outcomes for the residents.” – Erin, English Grade 6.
“After I passed maths and English with the help of my amazing maths and English tutors, I did my level 2 qualification in carpentry. If I did not pass, I would not have gotten into my next course at college, and therefore got my new job as a supervisor.” Jacob, Maths Grade 4.
These outcomes show what’s possible when colleges, tutors, and partners come together with a shared commitment to opening doors for young people.
