In June 2020, the government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch-up on missed learning caused by COVID19.
We welcome the additional funding as it will enable us to provide additional support for our students that have been most affected by the implications of COVID19.

| Employment of two teaching assistants to provide appropriate support to maintain safe, staffing levels due to COVID related absences and to support with target support and wider strategies.
We will implement a three-tiered approach throughout the academic year:
Teaching:
· Teaching staff will engage in external numeracy and literacy CPD training to develop strategies to support students with gaps identified in learning.
Targeted support:
· Small group intervention will be implemented to target Y11 and Y14s that will be certificating at the end of this academic year.
· Small group reading intervention will be implemented across KS3 to support continued development of reading skills.
· Increase the number of Thrive sessions to provide wider support for a larger number of students’ due to the impact of COVID.
Wider strategies:
· Middle leaders to work collaboratively to adapt the current student profiles and CASS plans, to implement strategies to support students’ mental health and wellbeing. |

Targeted support for student’s mental health and well-being:
Some students on return to school displayed anxieties and were disengaged and unmotivated. To reengage these learners ‘reconnection’ was paramount which was identified in our recovery curriculum. Due to increased human resource we were able to carry out further individual Thrive assessments and offer further Thrive 1:1 sessions for those most disengaged. Being able to reconnect through the support of a trusted person resulted in these students attending school full time and successfully reengaging back into the classroom and achieving their personal outcomes.
All teachers have adopted the new CASS plans and student profiles this year based on the zones of regulation framework. These have positively impacted on how staff identify individual strategies to support readiness to learn.
