Worthing High School

Catch Up Funding 2020/21

catch-up funding

Worthing High School’s catch-up strategy has a holistic approach which includes all year groups and a broad range of subjects, all with equal importance. We have ensured that we have assessed the guidance offered to us and used official research to underpin decisions upon. The staff, at all levels, and pupils of Worthing High School are fully committed to ensuring that the partial school closures have a minimal effect on the students learning and well-being.

This strategy will make sure that every young person, no matter their age or where they live, gets the education, opportunities and outcomes they deserve, by investing our time and funding on measures proven to be effective, particularly for those who are most disadvantaged.

  • Our priorities are to:
    • Support great teaching
    • Support transition back to school
    • Gain insight into the required recovery through assessment
    • Provide in school intervention
    • Use external resources for intervention
    • Monitor and enable access to technology
    • Provide additional support beyond school hours summer school
    • Liaise and work with families
  • The overall aims are to:
    • To raise the attainment of all pupils and to close the gap created by COVID-19 school closures
    • To reduce the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers
