delivering educational support to children and young people.
At Randstad, we offer a comprehensive tutoring service tailored for local authorities to support children and young people. Our approach includes personalised support from a dedicated account manager, regular progress meetings, and detailed reports on attendance and engagement. We ensure clear and straightforward invoicing and collaborate closely to address attendance challenges.
Drawing on our experience, we provide tailored packages, ensuring every pupil receives the support they need. Our partnership aims for effective and meaningful educational outcomes.
Randstad has been providing educational support to children and young people across primary, secondary and further & higher education for 32 years. As a DfE registered and quality assured tuition provider, we specialise in provision of subject specific tuition (including English and Maths) and non academic intervention (including mentoring, enrichment, counselling and alternative provision) for pupils from year 1-13. Working with 145+ local authorities (LA), we support pupils referred for support from LA teams in virtual schools, school improvement, 16+, SENDART, children missing in education and young offenders.

At Randstad Tuition Services, we offer a comprehensive range of tailored support services designed to meet the diverse needs of pupils. Our services go beyond traditional tutoring, focusing on the social-emotional, behavioural, and academic needs of students to ensure they thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
-
non-academic and pastoral support.
This encompasses a range of non-subject-specific interventions, including mentoring, enrichment, counselling, and alternative provision. The focus is on identifying and addressing underlying issues like behavioural challenges or social-emotional struggles that can lead to disengagement or exclusion. Tutors build positive relationships, trust, and self-esteem with students, providing consistent support and encouragement.
-
year 6 transition support
This specific non-academic support focuses on aiding pupils in their move from Year 6 to Year 7, promoting a smooth transition. It can include summer schools and catch-up literacy/numeracy programmes. The aim is to help students adjust and avoid disengagement during this critical period.
-
life skills mentoring.
Aims to build confidence and self-esteem, develop valuable life skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and time management, and foster resilience. It's offered as part of a blended learning experience, combining functional skills and core subject tutoring.
-
employability mentors.
This service focuses on equipping students with the qualifications and essential skills needed for their chosen career paths, including English and Maths functional skills. It aims to increase employability, confidence, and provide a competitive edge in the job market. Randstad can help students get certified with Functional Skills and GCSE exams in approved centres.

special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
Provides tailored support adapted to individual needs, including those with Sensory Loss, Physical, Health, Mental Health difficulties, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia.

pupils needing catch-up support.

children looked after (CLA)
Provides one-to-one and small group support specifically for Children Looked After (CLA). Tutors help address curriculum gaps and areas of weakness often experienced due to their looked after status. Additional care support can be integrated as part of wider care plans or EHCPs.

pupils missing in education.
Offers tailored academic and pastoral interventions to help these children achieve their full potential. Includes early intervention for pupils at risk of exclusion to prevent further disengagement. Aims to reduce the risk of exclusion and improve attendance.
-
learners with complex medical needs.
Provides educational support for pupils with complex medical needs, particularly where mainstream education may not be a suitable setting. Sessions can be delivered flexibly, including face-to-face in pupils' home/care settings, with adaptations such as frequent movement breaks to maintain engagement if needed.
-
post-16 support, including for those not in education, employment or training (NEET)
This category includes support for students beyond secondary school, particularly those who are NEET. It overlaps with "Employability Mentors" and "Life Skills Mentoring," focusing on ensuring young people gain the functional skills and academic qualifications (e.g., GCSE exams) needed for further study or work.
-
language support programme.
Aims to enhance educational outcomes and cultural engagement by supporting home languages. Tutors prepare pupils to successfully undertake a GCSE in their native tongue, focusing on reading, writing, and oral sections, and supporting recorded oral presentations.
