Covid-19 Information

The government announced funding to support children and young people to catch up due to the disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). This included a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time.

The £650 million of universal catch-up premium funding was made available for all state-funded mainstream and special schools, and alternative provision.
