Year 7 Catch-up

The Literacy and Numeracy catch-up premium allows schools additional funding to support year 7 students who achieved a scaled score of lower than 100 in Reading and/or Mathematics at the end of key stage 2 (KS2). 2019-20 was the last year of this funding.

We measure the impact of any catch-up strategies by looking carefully at progress data with our Heads of English and Maths and evaluating our approaches. Pupils make good progress in Year 7 and we plan to continue with small class groups, taught by the Heads of Department and with other strategies described.

Covid-19 Catch-Up

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.
