Pupil Premium & Catch Up Funding

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is additional funding for publicly funded educational establishments in England. It’s designed to help disadvantaged students of all abilities perform better, and close the gap between them and their peers. 

Catch Up Premium

Following the period of closure from March 2020 until September 2020, the government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up. This includes a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure the support needed to help all students make up for lost teaching time. Allocations will be calculated on a per student basis, providing us with a total of £80 for each student from Year 7 to Year 11.

Literacy and Numeracy Catch Up

The literacy and numeracy Catch Up premium provided state-funded educational establishments additional funding to support Year 7 students who did not achieve the expected standard in reading or maths at the end of Key Stage 2.
