Catch up Premium

The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up lost time after school closure. This is especially important for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds. This funding 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

• a £350 million National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help, which includes:

  • 1. 1. 1. • a schools programme for 5 to 16-year-olds – for more information, see the National Tutoring Programme FAQs

             • a 16 to 19 tuition fund

             • an oral language intervention programme for reception-aged children

At St. Saviour's Catholic Primary School, we recognise the difficulties the children have faced and the challenges to come through the recent disruption to their schooling life.

We will endeavor to ensure that we identify the needs of the individual children both academic and emotional development. We have focussed on the Personal Social Health (physical and mental) and well-being and have identified gaps in their learning.

This funding is being used mainly to provide additional quality teaching time to provide quality teaching to fill the gaps in the children's learning and development.

A separate statement summarising information for parents and details of the allocation for 2020-2021 is made available below.
