What is Catch-Up Premium?

Year 7 Catch-Up Premium is a type of funding additional to the main school funding.  It is received from the government and is allocated to students who failed to achieve at least a scaled score of 100 in English reading and/or maths at Key Stage 2.

Schools are free to spend the Catch-Up Premium as they see fit within specific parameters.

Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy received £7 303 for the year 2017-2018

Use of the Catch Up Premium

The Year 7 Catch-Up Premium at Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy was used to pay for a range of student support activities and interventions. In the year 2017-2018 these included extra numeracy and literacy provision in the way of extra classes delivered by staff to small groups of students.

Individual support interventions also took place including dyslexia programmes and interventions during lunchtimes and afternoon registration.

Specialist resources were purchased for the students. These included items such as handwriting support booklets and coloured reading rulers.

Specialist resources were also purchased for the maths department
