COVID-19 Catch Up Premium

 

From September 2020 the Government has made available additional funding to support schools in ‘catching up’ any missed learning due to Covid-19 school closures. 

On returning to full opening in September 2020, our school organised staffing into year group bubbles to reduce the risk of infection and support continuity going forward for the children. 

The additional funding allowed us to employ a teacher wanting to return part-time after maternity leave, in a two day a week role in year 2.  In addition, we were able to employ another teacher 1 day a week in this year group to support intervention and small group work.

This staffing structure also allows for known adults to cover in this year group rather than a supply teacher.
