The government has provided a one-off grant to support pupils in state education in recognition that all young people have lost time in education as a result of the pandemic, regardless of their income or background.

The spending of this money will be down to schools to allocate as they see best. To support schools to make the best use of this funding, the Education Endowment Foundation has published a support guide for schools with evidence-based approaches to catch up for all students.
