Although all children have had their education disrupted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it is likely that disadvantaged and vulnerable groups will have been hardest hit. That is why, alongside the universal catch-up premium, the government are also launching the National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help.
Since this announcement the government followed this with an announcement of further funding on 27 October 2021.
Funding allocation
Schools’ allocations will be calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each mainstream school with a total of £80 for each pupil in years reception through to 11.
Special, AP and hospital schools will be provided with £240 for each place for the 2020 to 2021 academic year.
