Year 7 Literacy and Numeracy Strategies
The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support year 7 pupils who did not achieve at least 100 in their reading and/or maths at the end of key stage 2 (KS2).
Christ the King Catholic High School received additional funding of £500 for each Year 7 pupil who did not achieve at least a standardised score of 100 in English and Maths at Key Stage 2. The allocation for 2017/2018 is £12,407. This additional grant has been primarily used to target support in small groups and for individualised provision.
