The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up lost time after school closure. As a school we will receive £80 for each pupil from reception to year 2.

We have identified priorities for use of this funding to support our pupils to re-ignite prior learning, address missed teaching time and make accelerated progress in line with both curriculum and school expectations for the next academic year.

To support us in making the best use of this funding, we have reflected on the evidence-based approaches identified by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and have used the following guidance coronavirus (COVID-19) support guide for schools and school planning guide: 2020 to 2021 to inform our plans.
