Year 7 Catch Up Premium Report 2019/20
What is “Catch up Premium?”
The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support year 7 students who did not achieve at the expected score for reading and/or maths at the end of key stage 2 (KS2).
How many children at Grace Academy are eligible for Catch up Premium?
Based on KS2 data, we now believe that:
- 47 (26.4%) students were working below the expected standard in English in year 7
- 38 (21.3%) students were working below the expected standard in Maths in year 7
- 29 (16.3%) students were working below expected in both Maths & English in year 7
This means that we received a Catch-up Premium allocation of £31,300
In order to support these pupils, the money has been allocated to:
- Additional learning resources for Literacy and Maths, including online learning platforms including Nessy phonics and Nessy numbers, carefully monitored and tracked to support progress across the curriculum.
- Intervention support programme for English and Maths delivered by specialist teachers
- Teaching groups and co-ordinated waved interventions
- Peer and adult reading mentors for a weekly programme

Impact of provision
Through summative assessments catch up students on average have made more progress than their peers throughout the year.
Catch up students in year 7 were on track to meet their expected progress and most were on track to surpass their expected progress.
