COVID-19 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 to ensure that our pupils recover and get back on track. Returning to normal educational routines alongside a range of extra curricular and enrichment activites will be central to our approach.
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.
Allocation
School allocations will be calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each mainstream school with a total of £80 for each pupil.
