What is Catch up Funding?

As part of the government initiative to support children and young people to catch up following the school closures, the government have allocated £80 per pupil from Reception to Year 6. Schools are advised to use the total sum of money as a whole to best support the needs of all children following their return to school.

While schools can use their funding in a way that suits their cohort and circumstances, they are expected to use this funding for specific activities which will help pupils catch up on missed education.

At Hugo Meynell Primary School we have used the recommended guidance from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to plan how the Catch up Funding will be used to best support the individual needs of our children in order to support the missed learning within schools.
