Primary Recovery Premium

Recovery premium is part of the government’s package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by COVID-19.

It is a time-limited grant providing over £300 million of additional funding for state-funded schools in the 2021/22 academic year and £1 billion across the 2022/23 and 2023/24 academic years.

The purpose is to ensure:

  • Children make accelerated progress in reading, writing and maths
  • Children are not disadvantaged in the long term by school absence related to COVID 19 & lock down
  • Effective use of the 'Catch Up Premium' funding
  • The most effective deployment of resources
  • The school has an effective remote learning offer in case of partial or full school closure (see Remote Learning Plan)
