What is COVID catch-up premium?
The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up lost time after school closure. This is especially important for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds. This funding includes:
A one-off universal £650 million catch up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time.
School allocations will be calculated on a per-pupil basis. Mainstream schools will get £80 for each pupil in from reception to year 11 inclusive. The money does not need to be spent on every child, with schools allowed to allocate money as they see fit.
