A guide for boards on what they should expect when monitoring progress in 2020/21  

Overview
It is estimated that many pupils are several months behind where they should be because of the COVID-19 lockdown. The gap for disadvantaged pupils is even greater. The DfE expects governors to hold their schools to account for impact of catch-up initiatives funded this year

This webinar provides guidance and expectations on the use of the COVID-19 catch-up premium, and the national tutoring programme and the role of governors in monitoring the impact of these.

• Available funding to support pupils to catch-up this year
• What research tells us about possible successful approaches
• Understanding the new barriers to learning
• What a good catch up plan looks like
• Monitoring the impact of remote learning solutions
• Support options for disadvantaged pupils
• What should success look like?
• How to scrutinise the plan?

Tutor
