This year, the government is providing funding to cover one-off universal catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year.

The Catch-up Premium is to support pupils to catch up for lost learning caused by the Covid-19 pandemic so schools can meet the curriculum expectations for the next academic year.

Please see the report below which outlines our use of the premium and our strategy which has been steered by the Education Endowment guide, ‘The EFF Guide to Supporting School Planning: A Tiered Approach to 2021’ and also the DfEs Catch-up programme guidance.
