Introduction
Earlier in the year there was a Supplementary Spring Programme offered to children attending school to help offset the fact that they were receiving their schooling via online platforms and not in a regular school setting. Where the Supplementary Spring Programme was not availed of for any number of reasons, eligible children are automatically entitled to get an additional week of tuition under the Summer Provision Programme.
What does an eligible school child get?
Where an eligible primary pupil or post-primary student did not access the Supplementary Spring Programme they are automatically entitled to an extra 10 hours / 1 week of tuition under the Summer Provision Programme.
What do siblings with shared hours get?
They will receive an extra weeks tuition that matches their shared weekly allocation.
