Year 7 Catch Up Premium

Year 7 Literacy and Numeracy Catch-Up Premium - 2019/20 Cohort

The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium is additional funding that is given to schools to support students who may need enhanced support to address relative underachievement as measured at the end of Year 6.

£500 is allocated to schools for each student who did not achieve a scaled score of at least 100 (previously level 4) in reading and/or mathematics at Key Stage 2.

All secondary schools are required to publish details of how the school spends this funding and the effect this has had upon the attainment of the pupils who attract it.
