Recovery Premium Funding
What is Recovery Premium Funding?
The recovery premium grant is part of the government’s package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19).
How much Recovery Premium Funding will St Luke's Receive?
During the Academic Year 2022-23 we will receive £19,458 in Recovery Premium Funding.
How will the funding be spent?
The funding will be spent to help all children catch up on the education that they have missed. The funding has been put together with some of the Pupil Premium Funding to ensure that each Key Stage has a smaller number of children in each group, but we have kept the number of teachers and teaching assistants the same. This will enable individual and small group support for children within the classroom environment, where they feel more comfortable learning. Areas for extra support have been identified from teacher assessments in the Autumn Term.
A key role for class staff with be to support Children's Emotional Well-Being. Supporting their Well-Being will help the children to be able to develop their key skills across the curriculum
What is the Expected Impact of the Recovery Premium Funding?
All children were assessed in the Autumn Term. We would expect that by the end of the Summer Term children make greater progress than normal due to the use of the Recovery Premium Funding.
