16 – 19 Tuition Fund Statement.
The purpose of this statement is to set out how Barnsley College will utilise the 16-19 tuition fund. The fund is allocated to colleges to mitigate the disruption to learning arising from Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The funding will be used to support a provision for all 16-19 learners including English and maths and across A Level and vocational courses where assessments may have been deferred due to the college closure.
The 16-19 tuition fund will be used to provide small group tuition to groups of between 3 and 5 learners. Eligible students have been prioritised based on results on entry as well as an assessment of individual needs including learners;
- who have not achieved a grade 4 in English and/or maths
- with an Education, Health and Care Plan
- with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), where disruption has been experienced
- where learning and assessment has been deferred due to lockdown
The tuition sessions will be timetabled in addition to the planned programme of study for 2021/22. The support will be provided through both on-site and blended learning delivery.

Transparency Information
Barnsley College Transparency Tables 2019
The information published on these pages shows:
- The number of applications for admission on to recognised, undergraduate higher education courses that we have received from UK domiciled applicants.
- The number of offers we have made in relation to those applications.
- The number of those offers accepted and the number who have registered with us.
- The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.
It also shows these numbers by reference to:
- The gender of the individuals to which they relate
- Their ethnicity
- Their socio-economic background.
It is important to note that the data presented has not been contextualised. This means, for example, that you will not be able to see from this data how many of those applying to courses met the entry criteria. It is also the case that universities and colleges will often receive many more applications than they have spaces on course and so offer rates will necessarily be lower than application rates in those circumstances.
