Coronavirus (Covid-19) catch up premium

Worsthorne Primary School has been allocated a catch-up premium grant. Within this document we have planned how the grant is intended to be spent. We will be analysing how the effect of this expenditure on the educational attainment of the pupils at the school will be assessed. This document has been produced following the guidance from the Government. We have also taken the context of our school and also the prevalence of the virus within the North West of England and especially East Lancashire into account.
