Catch-up Premium

The Government have pledged £1 billion (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-catch-up-premium) to ensure that schools have the resources they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time during school closures and home-learning. It is believed that with extra support for those who need it most all pupils have the chance to catch up. This one-off grant funding will be paid to all state-funded primary, secondary and special schools in the 2020 to 2021 academic year.
