Recovery Premium at Milton Abbot School

What is the Recovery ('catch up') Premium?
The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to recover or catch up lost time after school closure. This is especially important for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds. This funding initially included:

• a one-off universal £650 million catch up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time
• a £350 million National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help, which includes:
  • a schools programme for 5 to 16-year-olds – for more information, see the National Tutoring Programme FAQs
  • a 16 to 19 tuition fund
  • an oral language intervention programme for reception-aged children
• This initial amount was added to following the second extended period of National restrictions on school attendance.

Milton Abbot School's 'Recovery Premium plan' can be found below. This outlines the three-tiered approach we have adopted to ensure all our pupils make any necessary progress in their reading knowledge and skills, as well as across the whole curriculum, as rapidly as they can following any periods of national or local restricted attendance.
