Catch-up Funding  

Children and young people across the country have experienced unprecedented 

disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be among those hardest hit.   

The government has announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up. This includes 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.  

Allocation  

School allocations will be calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each mainstream school with a total of £80 for each student in years 7 through to 11.  

Maghull High School will receive £61,360 for the 2020/21 academic year.
