COVID Catch Up Premium
The Government have announced that £1 billion of funding had been earmarked for schools 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 that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost learning time due to Covid-19. The catch-up premium is funded on a per pupil basis at £80 per pupil.
