File photo dated 05/03/2017 of a primary school teacher marking a pupil's maths homework. Children in the "best-off" homes were more likely to report having had private tutoring than their peers in the "worst-off" homes (35% compared with 21%), according to the Sutton Trust report. A survey of 2,394 schoolchildren aged 11 to 16 in England and Wales found that 30% said they have had private tuition, up from 27% pre-pandemic. The proportion is the joint highest figure since the survey began in 2005, when it stood at 18%. Issue date: Thursday March 9, 2023.
