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 pupils make up for lost teaching time. The Catch-Up Premium works out at £80 per pupil, making our allocation approximately £25,840

‘Although all children have had their education disrupted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it is likely that disadvantaged and vulnerable groups will have been hardest hit. That is why, alongside the universal catch-up premium, the government have also launched a £350 million National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help. The NTP was developed to support schools in responding to the immediate challenge of school closures due to the coronavirus pandemic and to provide a longer-term contribution to closing the attainment gap.’ 

All approved partners on the NTP must collect data prior to the tutoring commencing and again when it has been completed. They will then provide school with a detailed pupil progress report.
