COVID-19 Catch Up Premium Funding - We are committed to providing the highest quality education for all our chidlren regardless of background or barrier to learning in all aspects of school life.  "Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are likely to have been more affected particularly severly by closures and may need more support to return to school and settle back into school life.  Whilst all pupils will benefit from the EEF recommnedations, it is likely that some forms of support will be particularly beneficial to disadvantaged".
