The literacy and numeracy Catch-Up Premium gives schools additional funding to support Year 7 pupils who did not achieve a level 4 in reading or maths at the end of Key Stage 2.


Year 7 Catch-Up Funding 2019-20


We received £7500 from the Department for Education in 2019 for year 7 catch-up. We anticipate that we will receive a similar amount in 2020 for the current year 7 cohort, based on the October 2019 census.


We will use this funding to provide:

 

  • Weekly small group sessions for pupils in maths- part pay for member of SEND staff 
  • Maths in-class support- part pay for member of SEND staff
  • Weekly 1:1 sessions for pupils with reading- part pay for member of SEND staff 
  • Support through an identified SEND Group- part pay for a qualified Primary School teacher (SENDCO) to support pupils with very low reading and numeracy skills (raw score of below 80)
  • Use of mathswatch and ICT facilities
  • Use of Precision Teaching and Prince’s Trust resources


We assess the effect on attainment in Literacy & Numeracy through the activities outlined below:


Measuring students’ literacy and numeracy ability on intake:

 

  • Baseline assessments Cognitive Abilities Tests (CATs) scores
