Covid-19 Catch-Up Premium

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. 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 students make up for lost teaching time.

In the 2021-2022 academic year, we have hired tutors through both the National Tutoring Programme and the School-led tutoring program to support many of our KS2 pupils in getting caught up for the lost time over the past two years due to the pandemic.
