Recovery Premium 2021-2022
In February 2021, the government announced a one-off recovery premium as part of its package of funding to support education recovery.
The recovery premium provides additional funding for schools in the 2021 to 2022 academic year. Building on the pupil premium, this funding will help schools to deliver evidence-based approaches for supporting disadvantaged pupils.
School allocations are calculated on a per pupil basis with Special schools receiving £290 for each place for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. The Grove allocation is £31,320.00 – The planned allocation of funding can be seen within the school Pupil Premium Strategy 2021-24 – 3 year plan.docx (3)
Overview of Planned Allocation of Funding
- £15,000.00 towards the delivery of Forest Schools as part of the taught curriculum. Building on the success of the summer school programme in July 2021 (which included Forest Schools), this will support and build valuable social and emotional wellbeing skills. Providing an additional day will provide ALL classes across the school an opportunity to have a weekly Forest School session rather than on a rotational basis.
- £5,000.00 towards providing resources and materials to support pupils with their communication outside of the school environment. All pupils who need a second set of resources will have these provided to ensure access 24 hours a day at school, in the community and at home.
- £10,000.00 towards training and implementing the THRIVE model to support the emotional wellbeing of pupils within the school. The school will identify two leads who will be trained to deliver and monitor THRIVE as a school wide approach to wellbeing. Click here for more details on THRIVE
Covid-19 Catch up Premium 2020-2021
In November 2020, the government announced £1 billion of funding to support pupils to catch up lost time after school closure.
School allocations are calculated on a per pupil basis with Special schools receiving £240 for each place for the 2020 to 2021 academic year. The Grove allocation is £24,000.00
The funding allocation is for specific activities to support pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months and to catch up on missed education.
The Grove has used its full allocation to provide a full time, band 4, Speech and Language Therapy Assistant to support the gaps in communication during the months away from school. Emphasis is to support pupils to close the gaps and make rapid progress so they are able to re-access the taught curriculum using their preferred communication method and to re-establish valuable social communication skills.
Work will include direct and indirect support, delivering programmes and developing resources to be shared with both class teams and home.
Assessment and impact will be measured through:
- The school’s assessment tracking system and analysis at the end of each term for progress compared to previous years
- Tracking and uploading of evidence on Earwig.
- Outcomes and progress within each pupil’s EHCP
- End of year progress and outcomes reporting to the Local Governing Body
Covid-19 Catch Premium Impact 2020 – 2021
All pupils are working below age related attainment on entry. Impact is assessed through tracking each individual’s progress.
Over 80% of pupils have had bespoke targeted or specialist support for their communication and social skills. Subsequently, pupils are using their communication systems more confidently and efficiently to express themselves.
Social skills intervention has impacted on pupils’ ability to manage social situations by developing their self-esteem and self confidence in social situations as well as teaching conversational and assertiveness skills.

Family bespoke support and workshops were delivered building on and extending parents knowledge and skills, subsequently parents are more confident with supporting their children at home.

All pupils are making good progress towards their EHCP targets.
