In Autumn 2020, the government announced additional funding for schools to support children and young people to catch up lost time following school closures due to COVID-19. The funding allocation is calculated on a per pupil basis and will be received in Early 2021 and Summer 2021.

​

At Wombourne High School the impact of  national lockdowns on learning has been minimised through virtual lessons and support to all of our students.  However, it has been a difficult time for our students and we want to support them in every way to recover from the impacts of COVID-19 and so that they can achieve fabulously well in all they do.

​

It is expected that schools use the additional funding in a way that suits their cohort and circumstances.  To support schools to make the best use of this funding, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has published a coronavirus (COVID-19) support guide for schools with evidence-based approaches to catch up for all students.  This guidance has been used in assigning the additional funding.  

​

Details of how this funding will be used specifically at Wombourne High School to support our students is detailed in the Catch-up Spending Plan 2020-2021.
