Our year together

A focused year of GCSE provision

This year Purple Ruler supported a large part of your Year 11 cohort with live, teacher-led tuition, concentrated on the subjects that matter most at GCSE. A strong base to build on.

~30

Year 11 pupils supported across the year

2

core GCSE subjects at the heart of it: Maths and English Language

Figures drawn live from our enrolment records for Judgemeadow. Alongside core Maths and English Language, we also delivered Combined Science and English as an Additional Language where pupils needed it.

What pupils told us

Pupils enjoyed their lessons, every time

After each lesson we capture short feedback from pupils. Across the lessons logged for Judgemeadow this year, the picture was consistent and positive.

Already trusted across your trust

We already teach across the Lionheart Educational Trust

Judgemeadow is part of a trust we know well. Several of your sister schools use the same live, teacher-led model, which means shared experience, consistent quality, and an easy conversation about a trust-wide approach if that is ever useful.

LoughboroughHumphrey Perkins School

Live GCSE teaching in English and Science, with provision running this year.

Anstey, LeicesterThe Martin High School

Live GCSE teaching across English and Business Studies.

CoalvilleThe Castle Rock School

Live GCSE tuition across a range of subjects.

Drawn from our live enrolment records for the Lionheart Educational Trust. We would be glad to introduce you to colleagues at any of these schools.

Where we can do even more

Three ways to get more from next year

Everything below builds directly on what already worked. Each one simply gives your pupils more time, more certainty and more breadth.

1

Start in the autumn term

Beginning support from September, rather than later in the year, gives the new Year 11 group many more weeks of teaching before their GCSEs. The same provision, with far more runway to move grades.

2

Plan the pupil premium block from day one

Confirm the cohort as a single block for September, so every pupil who would benefit is in place from the start of the year and teaching settles into a rhythm early. Cleaner to manage, and easier to evidence impact for pupil premium.

3

Broaden beyond Maths and English

This year centred on Maths and English Language. We can widen the offer to Combined Science and further GCSE subjects, and keep dedicated EAL support, all from the same trusted team.

The core of this proposal

Secure this year's rate and your hours for 2026/27

We are holding our current rate for partner schools that confirm their provision ahead of the summer. Reserve your block now and Judgemeadow keeps this year's price and priority teacher allocation for September.

£29.17per hour, ex VAT — your 2025/26 rate, held for next year
  • Price certainty. Lock in the rate you already know, with simple per-hour pricing so your pupil premium budget is predictable across the year.
  • Hours reserved. Confirm your block of hours for September and we ring-fence teachers for Judgemeadow ahead of demand.
  • Priority placement. Your pupils are prioritised when we set timetables and allocate teachers, so support starts quickly in the autumn.

We would agree the exact volume of hours and the subject mix with you, and set the start and schedule together rather than fixing timings here.

How we can support next year

The right model for each pupil

Your provision this year sits mainly in our one-to-one and small-group teaching. Here is the full range available to Judgemeadow, all at your held rate where it applies.

Compass
North star · Regulation & access

One to one and very small group, SEND-informed teaching. The natural fit for your pupil premium and EAL learners, pitched to each pupil with specialist scaffolding.

£29.17 per hour
Used at Judgemeadow
Distinction
North star · Curriculum & grades

Group stretch and exam preparation for pupils working below target, reverse-planned from the target grade and exam board. Ideal for a focused GCSE Maths or English push.

£29.17 per hour, per group
Blueprint
North star · Behaviour & engagement

Live group teaching that follows your own scheme of work and timetable, up to six per group. Good for gap-filling and reintegration inside school.

£29.17 per hour, per group
Academy
North star · Attendance

Full managed online provision for pupils out of school, in small groups on a structured timetable. For stabilisation, anxiety, medical or post-exclusion.

From £139 per pupil per week

Optional add-ons: parent engagement (welcome calls, check-ins, parent dashboards) and termly written reporting per pupil. An Enhanced Mental Health add-on is available at £180 per learner per month.

Quality assurance

Every lesson observed and scored, not self-reported

Each programme has its own quality rubric, with every metric scored Inadequate, Developing or Established. Lessons are observed live and reviewed against the rubric for the model in use.

Compass (single named learner)

Scores the what, how and who for each pupil, with adaptive teaching and pedagogical selection at its core, so one-to-one support is measured against that pupil's own needs and starting point.

Distinction (exam-focused, 6 metrics)

Reverse-planned from the target grade and scored across six metrics on precision, assessment and exam-board accuracy, so GCSE preparation stays sharp and on-spec.

You and your nominated colleagues can observe any live lesson, and all lessons are recorded for quality assurance, safeguarding and moderation.

Reporting

What you would see each half term

Every pupil gets an academic summary against age-related expectations or target grade, plus a teacher narrative for each subject. Illustrative sample below.

SubjectEngagementWorking atTeacher narrative (sample)
English Language StrongApproaching target gradeResponds well in discussion and is structuring extended answers with growing control of technique.
Maths StrongOn track for target gradeSecure with number and algebra; increasingly fluent when reasoning through multi-step problems.
Combined Science BuildingApproaching target gradeEngages confidently with enquiry and is recalling key concepts more independently each week.

Reports follow our house style: positive, evidence-led, benchmarked to target grade. Pupil names are never shown on shared documents.

All staff are vetted and trained to KCSIE. A named DSL (Bella Ma) oversees safeguarding, and all lessons are recorded for audit and moderation.

Next steps

Lock it in for September

The best next step is a short planning call. We will agree which pupils to support, the subjects and hours, and confirm your held rate, so everything is ready for the autumn term.
