Catch-Up Premium Strategy
The government has provided £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up after the disruption to schools during the Summer 2020 COVID-19 'lockdown'. This includes a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time. Alongside this , the government launched the £350 million National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help.

The children are assessed on an on-going basis with summative assessments made at the end of each term. In addition, we use NFER tests in reading, grammar, punctuation and spelling and mathematics to inform teacher judgements. These tests provide a 'standardised score' and 'question level analysis' allowing us to track progress and identify gaps. For more detail please download our Catch-Up Premium Strategy Document.
