Coronavirus (COVID-19) catch-up premium

We were eligible to receive funding for specific activities to support pupils to catch up lost teaching during school closures. We received £80 per pupil during the academic year 2020-21.

 

We considered the best way to spend this funding, based on the needs of our pupils and using the 'COVID-19 support guide for schools' published by the Education Endowment Foundation. 

 

We spent this grant on 'Targeted support' through either one to one or small group tuition and intervention programmes by Higher Level Teaching Assistants. The effect of this expenditure improved educational outcomes for:

 

  • the number of children reaching the expected standard in Phonics in Year 1 and Year 2 in December 2020 and December 2021

 

  • children in Years 3-6 meeting the expected standard in July 2021 by having content revisited from the school closure during March - July 2020 and from remote learning during January - March 2021. 

 

The use of this funding was scrutinised by the Governing Body.
