Catch Up

Waingels continues to be a good school- Ofsted 2023

Catch up

What is catch up?

The Year 7 catch-up premium is a fund to support pupils who did not achieve the expected standard in reading and/or maths at the end of Key Stage 2.

Waingels received £13,965 in catch-up premium in 2018-19. This additional grant was used:

for interventions to narrow the gap by providing intensive literacy and numeracy support and raise the attainment of those students entitled to catch up premium.
to identify concerns and target intervention and support to accelerate progress.

Year 7 Catch-up intervention programme summary

Intent

That all learners arriving at Waingels with below national average scores:

Make significant progress towards closing the gap with their peers
Will be able to access the Key Stage 3 and 4 curriculum
Feel more supported in the transition

Implementation steps

Student data is used to identify students that require additional support.

Selected students are then allocated Literacy or Numeracy support depending on individual needs.

The students begin the phase one intervention.

The intervention is reviewed and then may result in students no longer needed intervention, continuing with the intervention or moving to phase two intervention.

More details can be found in the Catch Up Intervention Programme

Impact

Learners are better able to access the mainstream curriculum, thereby improving their rate of progress. Where appropriate, this is measurable in internal examinations.
Learners increase their self confidence in their attitude to learning, and become more resilient.
