Coronavirus (COVID-19): Catch-up Funding Plan
April 2021 – April 2022
Note that we delayed the launch of ‘Jump Ahead’ tuition plan until April 2021
following the government’s decision to partially close Primary School as part of
a national lockdown.
The government is providing schools with £650 million of universal catch-up premium
funding for the 2020/2021 academic year. The aim of the funding is to help pupils catch
up on education they have missed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to make up
for lost teaching over the previous months. While funding has been allocated on a per-
pupil or per-place basis, schools should use the amount available to them as a single
total from which to prioritise support for pupils according to their needs. Schools do not
need to spend the funds in the financial year beginning 1 April 2020, and may carry
some or all catch-up premium funds forward to future financial years if they wish. The
Education Endowment Foundation’s ‘School Planning Guide 2020-21’, may help
schools to develop their plans for the premium. For more details, please refer to our QA regarding the catch-up premium.
Mainstream schools will receive £80 per pupil from reception to Year 11 inclusive, and special, AP and hospital schools will receive £240 for each place. This
funding will be received in three instalments, the first in Autumn 2020, the second in early 2021 and the third in the 2021 Summer term. School leaders must be
able to show that the funding is being used for its intended purposes, and governing boards are advised to scrutinise their school’s plans for its use. The use of
the funding will also be inspected by Ofsted when it resumes routine inspections. More information surrounding the catch-up premium can be found here.
This template plan enables schools to outline how they are going to invest their funding for the whole school, targeted support and wider areas, e.g. supporting
parents – at the end there is a summary report to outline the overall goals of the spending. Each section of the plan outlines the relevant considerations for
schools, including actions to be taken, the aim of the intervention, how much the intervention will cost, who the lead member of staff will be and any additional
comments. The plan should be completed in full and sent out to all relevant stakeholders.Catch-Up Funding

Date of review: Reviewed July 2021, December 2021 and April 20221. Strategy and Aims
We used the Autumn term 2020 to plan our Jump Ahead tuition program. We approached this with three key considerations:
How can we maximise use of this additional funding for the benefit of all our groups of children to help us achieve our ambitions for pupils at St
George’s?
How can we use this additional funding to minimise the effect of Covid-19 school closures on our pupils’ educational achievement and well-being?
How can we use this funding to enhance the school’s long-term strategy for supporting pupils to achieve their potential? We were particularly
interested in how this could affect our use of SEND and Pupil Premium funding?
In view of this, we made three initial decisions. They were:
We would add £22,000 funding to this project from Pupil Premium and SEND funding.
We would ring fence this funding so it is carried over to 2021-22 financial year if necessary.
Ensure that the scope of this work was enhanced with long term aims. Therefore, we would encourage research and innovation as part of our
approach so we were clear on impact and effectiveness. Diagram below catches our approach.
