About the Programme

The Go Learn tutoring pilot is a new national initiative from Greenwich Hospital and The Naval Children’s Charity (NCC), designed to give young people from serving Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary families academic support at critical times during education.
This fully funded programme offers high‑quality, personalised online tutoring, tailored to the unique challenges faced by Naval children—such as frequent moves, disrupted schooling, and changing educational systems.
Go Learn is open to secondary school aged students from serving Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary families. Support is available at key academic stages:
  • GCSEs and A Levels
  • Scottish Nationals and Highers
  • Specialist progression support for students with additional needs
The pilot will run for an initial 18‑month period, helping us understand the demand and long‑term benefits to families.

What the Programme Offers

Students who join the Go Learn pilot receive up to 16 hours of free one-to-one tutoring per academic year, either focused on a single subject or spread across core subjects. Sessions can be scheduled after school, at weekends, during school holidays — and even while posted overseas.

  • Up to 16 hours of free one‑to‑one tutoring per academic year, either all for one subject or spread across the core subjects specified below
