Impact of school closures on our pupils

Routine: Pupils’ ability to manage routine, leading to increased difficulty in attending to learning Regulation: i. physical development and mobility – resulting in pupils unable to maintain good seating, standing postures and strong mobility. ii ability to self-regulate effectively, leading to increased emotional wellbeing/mental concerns Relationships: Pupils’ ability to relate to one another and staff, leading to enhanced social communication difficulties Revisit: Pupils’ ability to maintain prior learning, leading to gaps in knowledge and skills Increase in safeguarding concerns Lower attendance

Intended outcome of Catch Up Premium spending

This funding will be used for specific activities to support pupils to catch up for lost teaching, and support for their additional needs over the previous months. This will include ensuring our school returns to the normal curriculum in all subjects by summer term 2021 and standards are maintained.

Covid-19

It is extremely important that we consider the educational and emotional impact of Covid-19 on our pupils. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to school closures across the UK and many countries around the world. This means that the majority of pupils have missed more than a full term in school, though supported and taught in various ways. Nevertheless, it is likely that school closures will lead to slower rates of learning, perhaps learning loss, and there is a risk that the negative impact will be worse for pupils who are economically disadvantaged. Effective strategies evaluated by the EEF have been identified within this plan.
