COVID Catch Up Funding

In 2020, the DfE announced a Catch-Up fund to address the gaps in learning caused for huge numbers of students nationally, following the national Lockdown and school closures.

The Government are providing £650 million of universal catch-up premium funding, and schools are being allocated this money on a per pupil basis. Springwood High School has used research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to produce an action plan of how the money will be spent.

To view our full intent on how the grant will be spent and how the effect this expenditure will have on the educational attainment of those pupils at the school, will be assessed, please click on the link below:

Year 7 Catch Up Fund

The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support year 7 pupils who did not reach the required levels in  reading or maths at the end of Key Stage 2 (KS2). 

All schools have to report on how this money is spent, as well as the impact of the premium to those pupils who are eligible.
