Total amount of catch up premium

£16,240

The Government are granting £80 per pupil from Reception to Year 6 as part of a catch up premium. 

The best practise for expenditure is highlighted by EEF who identify 3 layers of support (1) Teaching (2) Targeted support (3) Wider strategies. 

Many interventions and catch up resourcing have been highlighted within the pupil premium report and although the % of PP was used to accurately determine costs – the strategies apply to non PP who have fallen behind.  This plan has been cross referenced with the PP strategy- identifying the planned support (please cross reference for costs) under the 3 headings identified by EEF.

Our overall aim is to ensure that the children make best progress so that the majority are on track in Maths, English whilst delivering a broad and balanced curriculum.  To evaluate the impact of interventions and resourcing, internal data from this current academic year with be compared with outcomes from last year’s internal data as well as any EYFS/KS1 results where appropriate.
