Year 7 Catch Up Premium:
Year 7 Catch up Premium
The catch up premium is additional funding given to the school to support Year 7 students who did not achieve the expected standard in either Mathematics or Reading at Key Stage 2. This funding is to enable schools to provide additional support to student who are admitted to secondary school with a lower starting point.
As with other secondary schools our funding has been frozen and therefore remains at £15,000.

Year 7 Catch Up Premium Impact 2017-18
During the year, Catch Up Premium students were supported by Maths intervention mentors, who worked with them in small groups or 1:1 – predominantly during their Maths lessons. In addition to this, Reading Catch Up students were also supported by our Reading and Phonics programme – which aims to accelerate reading age to a minimum of 11 years, in order to enable each student to fully access the full school curriculum. Maths Catch Up students were provided with additional support as an alternative to Tutor Time activities. This was either with the Maths intervention mentor, or with A Level Maths students as part of a Paired Maths programme.

While not all of our Catch Up Premium students may be meeting targets, as a cohort they made better progress in both English and Maths than other students. Students who have not yet achieved Level 4 in English will continue to be supported on the Reading and Phonics programme into Year 8. In Maths, anyone who is yet to achieve the expected attainment will continue to have additional support through both the Paired Maths programme and with the Maths intervention mentor.

Whereas 69 students started Year 7 without meeting the expected standard of Mathematics at Key Stage 2. These students will be supported in the following ways this year:
• Intervention from our teacher in smaller class sizes during Maths lessons
• Lessons focused on numeracy, using a variety of resources created in-house and resources created by organisations to help these students close the gap.
• Every student has access to MyMaths to develop numeracy.
• Regular teacher assessments to see how the students are making progress in numeracy, and this is then used to inform teaching and learning.
