Year 7 literacy and numeracy catch-up premium

 

Use of Year 7 Catch-up funding in 2017/18

The 2017-2018 cohort

The literacy and numeracy catch up funding provides schools with additional funding to support those pupils who performed below national expectations at Key Stage 2 in English and Maths. It is provided to all state funded schools with a Year 7 cohort. The additional funding for 2017/18 is £500 per pupil.

Woodeaton Manor School has been allocated £4500 for the academic Year September 2017 to August 2018.

This money is currently being used to support nine pupils (56% of the cohort) who are in Year 7 and who have achieved below the 100 benchmark in English and/or Maths in their Year 6 SATs in 2017. The purpose of this funding is to ensure that pupils catch up with their peers who have already achieved the National Benchmark in Year 6.

Interventions currently on offer at Woodeaton extend beyond literacy and numeracy to also include social and emotional wellbeing which is funded through the school’s pupil premium and school budget. Interventions include 1:1 support from teaching staff and trained Catch Up members of staff. The interventions are designed to help pupils make and sustain progress.

There are currently fifteen members of staff contributing to delivering interventions across the whole school, with ten members of staff supporting pupils in Year 7.
