Stacey Hunter introduced the review of the Home Tuition Service. This information had been asked for prior to the funding cuts in the current year budget. She had since added the financial section. The report had been reviewed at Heads Funding Group, and although full of information and tables they had asked for it to be more strategic. Cathy Burnham added that the expenditure per pupil averaged out at £9,833. Ian Person stated that different pupils engage for differing numbers of hours, and requested information on cost per hour of tuition which might prove more meaningful. Stacey highlighted that the greatest cost is for tutors of which there is a high turnover. Cathy emphasised that there was a growing number of pupils with mental health and anxiety, and that this needs to be tackled. Home tuition will form part of the PRU strategic review.
