School closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on our pupils' learning and education. In June 2020 the UK government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up on missed learning.

We received £80 per child for the 2020 to 2021 academic year. The overall aims of the expenditure of the catch-up premium strategy are: 

• To reduce the attainment gap between your disadvantaged pupils and their peers 
• To ensure all pupils can access learning whilst off site 
• To ensure the wellbeing of all pupils 
• To raise the attainment of all pupils to close the gap created by COVID-19 school closures
