Additional Funding
Year 7 Literacy and Numeracy Catch-up Premium
The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium was funding given to state-funded schools, including special schools and provision settings, to support year 7 pupils who did not achieve the expected standard in reading or maths at the end of key stage 2 (KS2). This funding is no longer available.
Pupil Premium
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG), which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
Schools are free to spend the PPG as they see fit. However, they are accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support students from low-income families. New measures of success will be included in the DfE performance tables; these will capture the achievement of those disadvantaged pupils covered by the PPG.
