We are eligible to receive funding for specific activities to support pupils to catch up lost teaching over the previous months. We will receive £80 per pupil during this academic year (2020-21).

We are currently considering 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 intend to spend some of this grant on 'Targeted support' through either one to one or small group tuition and intervention programmes by teachers and Higher Level Teaching Assistants. 

The effect of this expenditure should improve educational outcomes for:

• the number of children reaching the expected standard in Phonics in Year 1 and Year 2 in June 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.

The use of this funding will be scrutinised by the Governing Body each term.
