COVID Catch Up Programme

What is the ‘catch-up’ premium funding?

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. Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months and have the flexibility to spend  their funding in the best way for their children and circumstances.

Farndon Primary has been allocated £19,200+ additional ‘catch-up’ funding to support interventions designed to close gaps in attainment for this academic year.

Who will benefit from the funding?

During September 2020, all children across the school have undertaken high-quality assessments in reading, writing, phonics / spelling and maths (NFER tests). Through careful analysis of this assessment data, teachers have identified groups of children that will benefit from ‘catch-up’ support or other interventions to enable them to close gaps in understanding and attainment.
