COVID-19 Catch-Up Premium Grant 2020-2021

Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their students to catch-up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the curriculum expectations for the next academic year.
Schools have the flexibility to spend their funding in the best way for their cohort and circumstances. While schools can use their funding in a way that suits their cohort and circumstances, they are expected to use this funding for specific activities which will help students catch-up on missed education.
Although you'll receive funding on a per student basis, you should use the sum available to you as a single total to prioritise support. There are no specific requirements for who to spend it on.
To support schools to implement their catch-up plans effectively, the Education Endowment Fund (EEF) has published the school planning guide: 2020 to 2021. This will provide further guidance on how schools should implement catch-up strategies and supporting case studies to highlight effective practice.
