5 May 2020 Northern Powerhouse Partnership calls for 'Catch-up' premium

The Northern Powerhouse Partnership has called for a catch-up premium for disadvantaged pupils when schools reopen

The funding, which they say should be at least £700 for each secondary school pupil, would pay for tuition for those that have fallen behind during the COVID-19 crisis

The Partnership feels that without it, the attainment gap, which affects Northern children more than most, will get bigger

The funding would secure interventions for around 30 minutes of tuition, three to five times a week over a six to twelve week period
