Year 7 Catch-up funding
Our approach is to use the Catch-up funding is based on the research and advice from HM Government:
The DFE provides additional funding to schools for each Year 7 student who has not achieved a scale score of 100 in reading and/or Maths at Key Stage 2. All state-funded schools receive funding for each Year 7 student who had not achieved a score of at least 100 in reading and/or Maths at Key Stage 2. This funding is not ring-fenced, however there is an expectation that students are given the support required to ensure they are more likely to succeed ‘at secondary school’.
