Catch Up Premium Funding (2020-2021)
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on partial school closures, the government announced funding to support children to continue to make progress with their education. Schools’ allocations were calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each mainstream school with a total of £80 for each pupil from Reception to Y11 for the academic year 2020-2021. Schools were directed to use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the curriculum expectations for the next academic year. Schools were able to use their funding flexibly to suit their individual cohorts and circumstances. At CHJS, we assessed the needs of our pupils on their return to school from partial school closures and identified emerging needs to target our catch up premium spend.
Please see our Catch up Premium Document to demonstrate where our premium spend was targeted and the appropriate impact analysis.
Sport Premium
Here at Cockton Hill Junior School we believe that Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA) play a vital part in promoting social inclusion, healthy lifestyles and self confidence in our pupils. We want all children to enjoy sporting activities and continue to engage with these throughout their lives.
The government provides additional funding to improve PE provision and sport in all primary schools. This funding is allocated to primary head teachers and is ring fenced so can only be spent on provision of PE and Sport in school. The use of Sport Premium supports our commitment and delivery of PESSPA. School receive Sport Premium funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport offered.
Sport Premium funding must be used to make improvements based on the following key indicators:
- Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
- The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- Broader experience of a range of sports and physical activities offered to all pupils
- Increased participation in competitive sport
