Year 7 Catch Up Funding
Catch Up Literacy & Numeracy Funding
Updated October 2018
When students join Hampton High they sit a series of cognitive ability tests. 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 (or longer if needed).
The sessions are taught on a 1:1 basis.
Students involved in the Catch Up programme do make progress, as a result we will continue to operate the Catch Up programme as we have done previously.
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.
If they have made sufficient levels of progress in their comprehension they are integrated back in to their full time table.
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 12.
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.
If they have made sufficient levels of progress they are integrated back in to their full time table.
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 10.
