In June 2020, the government provided schools with £80 per pupil catch-up funding to support children to catch up on missed learning caused by coronavirus (COVID19). This is especially important for the most vulnerable pupils and pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds who we know have been most affected.

At Bedford Hall Methodist Primary School, we have used evidence-based approaches to enable all children the best opportunities to catch up with missed learning.  This has included redesigning our curriculum, training teachers on using retrieval strategies throughout lessons and providing small group and one-to-one additional tuition.
