Covid Catch up Premium

What is Catch-up Funding?

 


Children and young people across the country have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be among those hardest hit.

 

We know that we have the professional knowledge and expertise in the education system to ensure that children and young people recover and get back on track. Returning to normal educational routines as quickly as possible will be critical to our national recovery.

 

The government has announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up. This includes a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time.

 

While every school will have been affected by Covid-19 differently, we have considered the needs of our school community to design a recovery plan for our students. The right way to support learners will differ between schools and must be informed by the professional judgement of teachers and school leaders – so what we are doing might be different to other schools; there isn’t just one way to do this. As always, our strategies will be kept under review and we may modify things to make them better as we go.
