Guidance

 

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 aggregate impact of lost time in education will be substantial, and the scale of our response must match the scale of the challenge.

Schools’ allocations will be calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each special school with a total of £240 for each pupil in years reception through to 11.

The catch-up premium has been designed to mitigate the effects of the unique disruption caused by coronavirus (COVID-19).

Use of Funds

EEF Recommendations

 

Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the guidance

on curriculum expectations for the next academic year.

 

Schools have the flexibility to spend their funding in the best way for their cohort and circumstances.

 

To support schools to make the best use of this funding, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has published a coronavirus (COVID-19) support guide for schools with evidence-based approaches to catch up for all students. Schools
