Catch Up Premium

Catch-up Premium: COVID 19 (2020-2021)

For this school year, COVID Catch-up funding has replaced the Year 7 Literacy & Numeracy Catch-up Premium.

Year 7 Literacy & Numeracy Catch-up Premium

This funding is provided to all schools who have students with low attainment in literacy and numeracy arriving in Year 7.

Low attainment is defined as attainment below age-related expectations.

The purpose of this funding is to enable schools to deliver additional support, providing a boost to these students’ progress.

In February 2020, Clare Mount received £15,543 extra funding for this.

We have studied the research carefully in regard to intervention strategies that have evidence of success. We therefore, use this funding:

To provide training for staff on the Dyslexia-Friendly classroom, Working Memory and strategies to teach students with Autism

To facilitate adult reading and paired reading time so students encounter vocabulary that they would otherwise not experience

To access additional ICT resources such as iPads for Year 7 which enhance lessons and provide motivators
To support a greatly enhanced transition to reduce the impact of this change on our new students and enable them to settle into Clare Mount more effectively
