The impact of school closures is affecting young people across the country. Principal Resourcing are continuing to support young people through an online tuition service. As face-to-face tutoring is no longer viable while social distancing measures are in place, tuition sessions have moved online to help provide a vital source of continuity and stability in challenging times.
Our online platform makes tuition convenient, simple and very flexible. Allowing students of all year groups access to quality learning support whenever they need it.
Sessions can be delivered to classes, small groups or individuals, with specialist tutors available to support vulnerable young people.
Our tutors can be booked to cover any subject or key stage for as many 1-hour slots across the week as needed at times to suit the child/children. The live lessons are engaging with the ability to talk, sketch and share resources in real time across a range of devices and they are recorded and sent out at the end of each session.
Before tuition is booked an individual risk, assessment and information form will be completed for each student. Each tutor booked for a tuition session has completed the comprehensive compliance and safeguarding checks and agreed to all required remote working policies and procedures. Our consultants will arrange convenient time slots with the tutor and student and provide information on how to access our platform and test your equipment prior to logging on for your first session.

DfE School Supply Agency Framework
The aim of the DfE Supply Tool Framework is to support schools to enable schools to access value for money, avoid fees and find local agencies who complete thorough background and safeguarding checks.
Working with an approved supplier provides the reassurance that the following key areas have been assessed and verified:
- Thorough checks on all their workers
- Hold relevant accreditation
- Are open about their rates – showing the mark-up they charge
- Give schools the opportunity to avoid paying temp-to-perm fees
- Always tell you that they’re part of the deal
- Offer the terms they agreed as part of the deal first
Principal Resourcing are one of 117 agencies, nationally working to the requirements of the framework, providing consistent, transparent and best value supply solutions at all times.
To sign up to work with a DfE approved agency:

Enter the kind of worker you want and your postcode. This will give you a list of local agencies who can supply what you need, ordered by the mark-up they charge.
2. Ask for a quote – they must offer the terms they agreed with us, but you can still try to negotiate a better deal if you want.
3. Follow your usual way of assessing quotes and hiring staff.
4. Once agreed, you’ll need to sign an agreement with the agency to confirm that the worker has been assigned, that they are being provided under the terms of the deal and the agency rates are what they agreed to offer under the deal.
5. The invoice the agency sends you should break down the total cost to show the cost for the worker and the agency’s fees.
