Coronavirus (COVID-19) Catch-Up Premium
Catch-up funding allocations are calculated on a per pupil basis providing each school with £80 per child from Reception to Y11. The funding is designed to mitigate the effects of the unique and disruptive effects of the global pandemic.The planned expenditure of the catch-up funding is linked to the recommendations in the Education Endowment Foundation’s (EEF) COVID-19 Support Guide for schools. Supporting great teaching and small group tuition are the priority strategies for all primary schools in The White Horse Federation.
‘Great teaching is the most important lever schools have to improve outcomes for their pupils’
‘There is extensive evidence supporting the impact of high quality one to one and small group tuition as a catch-up strategy’, (EEF COVID-19 Support Guide for schools 2020)
The White Horse Federation has worked with the school to ensure the funding:
- Allows pupils to access technology in the event of remote learning and facilitating access to support in school.
- Provides professional development opportunities for middle and senior leaders to support leading and planning of the curriculum.
- Provides teachers with training and support through the system leader networks to improve the quality of teaching.
