Helen Redford-Hernandez, chief executive of Brighter Futures Learning Partnership Trust, which runs Hungerhill School, Doncaster University Technology College (UTC) and five Doncaster primary schools said it would definitely help.
She said they were looking at extending the school day, and possible summer schools, particularly for exam groups at Hungerhill and the UTC. The money will help with some of the learning and help identify gaps, she added.
