Catch-up Funding
Children have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds are likely to be most affected. The aggregate impact of lost time in education may be substantial and it is imperative that “lost” learning is addressed quickly so that gaps are closed and progress is accelerated, so that pupil are quickly able to access their age related curriculum at the earliest opportunity. Universal catch up premium will be used to support those children who have identified gaps so that they can make accelerated progress. To view the whole strategy please click the links below:
