Recovery Premium
Children and young people across the country have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be among those hardest hit.
The government has announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up. This includes 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.
School-Led Tutoring
Tutoring in small groups or one-one can have a positive impact on pupils’ academic progress.
At Carmountside, we use teachers or teaching assistants who are more familiar with their pupils to deliver tutoring. We currently have 13 members of staff delivering tutoring after school to pupils from Year 1 to Year 6.
Additional Support
We provide additional targeted support and intervention for those pupils who require further phonic support, reading intervention, langauge and commnciation programmes, 'catch up' booster sessions in English and Maths, as well as targeted social and emotional support.
