Catch Up Strategy

Children and young people across the country have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be amongst the hardest hit.

The aggregate impact of lost time in education will be substantial, and the scale of or response must match the scale of the challenge. Schools' allocation is calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each mainstream school with a total of £80 for each pupil in Reception to year 11. As the catch-up premium ha been designed to mitigate the effects of the unique disruption caused by coronavirus (COVID-19), the grant is short term. It will not be added to the schools' baselines in calculating future years' funding allocations.
