Rationale:

We have used our Year 7 catch up premium funding in a specific way at CWA to have a positive impact on students that need it the most. The funding is directly targeted at pupils with the lowest current ability and baseline scores in numeracy and literacy. It helps us to provide the intervention and programmes in place for these students. In our experience this these interventions are the best use of this funding and we expect to see positive progress as a result of this initiative. We have had good success from employing additional funding in these areas historically and this will provide excellent chances for pupil engagement and progression. This also links to the EEF/Sutton Trust Guidance.
