JANUARY 2021 - UPDATED SAFEGUARDING POLICY ADDENDUM
COVID 19 CATCH UP GRANT
The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up lost time after school closure in March 2020. This is especially important for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds. This funding 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.
