What is the Recovery Premium and how will we use it?
The recovery premium grant is part of the government’s package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19). It is a time-limited grant providing over £300m of additional funding for state-funded schools in the 2021 to 2022 academic year and £1bn across the 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024 academic years. It is focused on pupil premium eligible pupils. This is because of the additional impact of the pandemic on disadvantaged pupils. However, schools can use it to deliver evidence-based approaches for supporting any pupil based on an assessment of individual need.
