Description
In order to fulfil our statutory obligation, we are looking for dynamic partners to provide tutoring to Wigan children and young people who may otherwise not have a suitable education offer. We are looking for providers who are primarily able to offer face to face tutoring with the flexibility to offer online tutoring when this is in the best interests of the child. In a small number of cases Wigan children may need an out of borough education offer and we welcome providers who can offer this level of flexibility.
