Year 7 catch up report
2016/2017
Y7 CATCH UP FUNDING 2016-17
Context
The Department for Education (DfE) provided additional funding for all students in
Year 7 from 2012 onwards, who achieved below their age related expectations at
the end of KS2. This additional funding is to be used by schools/academies to
provide literacy and numeracy catch-up support for Year 7 students. It is designed
to help students catch up as quickly as possible. Pre-2016, the literacy and
numeracy catch-up premium provided schools with an additional £500 for each
year 7 pupil who did not achieve at least level 4 in reading and/or maths at the end
of key stage 2. Due to the changes in KS2 data and the introduction of scaled scores
for 2016/17, schools will receive the same amount of Year 7 catch-up premium
funding they received in 2015/16, adjusted to reflect the percentage change in the
size of their Year 7 cohort.

Our Aims
At Clifton School the funding is being used to meet the following aims:
1. To raise attainment in reading age.
2. To raise attainment in reading and writing.
3. To raise attainment in Maths
How is the funding deployed?
Read, Write, Inc.
In Y7, students who have a reading age of below 7 years receive 2 lessons and 2 1:1
Read, Write, Inc sessions per week. All TAs and English teachers received 2 days of
Read, Write, Inc training in October to ensure a consistent approach to the delivery
of this across the school. Along side this, these students complete DEAR reading time
in every English lesson (10 mins) and have a Y10 reading buddy who also reads with
them 1 session per week.

Number of Students Cost
11 £7,050.00
Language Acquisition
For EAL students whose reading age is better than 7 years and who we feel their
grasp of the English Language is their biggest barrier to accessing the curriculum
receive 2 lessons of English as an Additional Language teaching per week. This is
delivered by staff from the MFL faculty. We run a 5 year programme which can
progress all the way to a GCSE qualification in Y11. Along side this, these students
complete DEAR reading time in every English lesson (10 mins) and have a Y10
reading buddy who also reads with them 1 session per week.
Number of Students Cost
23 £7,680.00
Step Up
Students who are below a 2- (4c) in English receive 2 lessons of Step Up per week (or
1 lesson if they also require Numeracy intervention). Step up is a programme run by
AQA, which provides students with the foundation skills in reading, writing, speaking
and listening to successfully access the school curriculum and provide the key
components to succeed at GCSE level. Again, this course can be followed all the
way through to Y11, resulting in a qualification. This is delivered by staff from the
English faculty. Along side this, these students complete DEAR reading time in every
English lesson (10 mins) and have a member of staff who is their reading buddy, who
reads with them twice a week to get their reading age to chronological.
Number of Students Cost
23 £7,464.00
Reading Lessons
Along side this, these students complete DEAR reading time in every English lesson
(10 mins) and have a member of staff who is their reading buddy, who reads with
them twice a week to get their reading age to chronological.
Number of Students Cost
24 £9125.00
Y7 CATCH UP FUNDING 2016-17
Personalised Learning
Students who still require additional personalised learning to develop their spelling,
reading or numeracy further access personalised learning as a short term
intervention to improve a specific element of literacy or numeracy.
Number of Students Cost
36 £15,702.00
Numeracy
Students who are below a 2- (4c) in Maths receive 2 lessons of Numeracy per week
(1 if they also require step up). The numeracy is designed to work on the basics of
Maths to ensure there is a solid grounding on which to build upon in lessons. We
have also invested in a Maths specific TA to support students in class and where
appropriate work with small groups outside of the classroom environment.
