Year 7 Catch Up Funding
Catch Up Literacy & Numeracy Funding
June 2018
Additional funding has been made available by the DfE to support those students who have not reached the required level in English or mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2.
The purpose of this funding is to enable us to deliver additional support, for those students that most need it, so that they can reach their full potential at school.
When students join Hampton High they sit a series of tests, including reading and spelling assessments. The students that score below the expected standard are picked up by the Catch Up program which aims to see them twice a week for 20 minutes over a duration of 6 to 12 weeks. The sessions are taught on a 1:1 basis.
Catch Up Literacy
Once students start the Catch Up Literacy program they sit a baseline test; the program focusses on decoding skills and phonic recognition. At the end of the program they are reassessed and if they have made sufficient levels of progress in their comprehension they are integrated back in to their full timetable. If they have not made sufficient progress, then they remain on the program and are assessed in another 6 to 12 weeks.
The current number of students on the Catch Up Literacy program is 14. The total number of students that have been on the program through the academic year 2017-18 is 25.
Catch Up Numeracy
Once students start the Catch Up Numeracy program they sit a baseline test. The program focuses on basic mathematical operations and multiplication facts. At the end of the program they are reassessed and if they have made sufficient levels of progress they are integrated back in to their full timetable. If they have not made sufficient progress, then they remain on the program and are assessed in another 6 to 12 weeks.
The current number of students on the Catch Up Numeracy program is 9. The total number of students that have been on the program through the academic year 2017-18 is 24.
