COVID-19 Catch up Premium

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) catch-up premium grant was introduced in July 2020 and is allocated to schools to support pupils by tailoring the use of the funding to identified gaps to attainment as a result of school closures due to Covid-19. It is for the school to determine how best to use the funding.

For the academic year (2020-21), we must publish our Coronavirus (COVID-19) catch-up premium grant strategy setting out:

• The amount of the school’s Covid-19 catch-up premium grant allocation
• A summary of the main barriers to educational achievement faced by the school
• How the Covid-19 catch-up premium grant allocation is to be spent to address those barriers and the reasons for that approach
• How the school is to measure the impact and effect of its expenditure of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) catch-up premium grant allocation
• The date of the school’s next review of its Covid-19 catch-up premium grant strategy
