Catch Up Premium
Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the curriculum expectations for the next academic year in actions for schools during the coronavirus outbreak.
While schools can use their funding in a way that suits their cohort and circumstances, they are expected to use this funding for specific activities which will help pupils catch up on missed education.
To support schools to make the best use of this funding, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has published a coronavirus (COVID-19) support guide for schools with evidence-based approaches to catch up for all students. To support schools to implement their catch-up plans effectively, EEF has published the school planning guide: 2020 to 2021. This will provide further guidance on how schools should implement catch-up strategies and supporting case studies to highlight effective practice.

Sports Premium
The PE and Sport Premium is designed to help children get an active start in life, supporting primary schools to improve the quality of their PE and sport provision so that pupils experience the benefits of regular exercise – from becoming healthier both mentally and physically to improved behaviour and better academic achievement.
The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

What a great first week back for Year 1! The children came back with a wonderful attitude to learning and have started off the term with so much energy! We started our new Geography topic, “Where I Live” by exploring our local community and sharing observations about our surroundings. The excitement continued as we introduced our brand-new Curious Quests characters - the children can't wait to follow them on their learning adventures! Throughout the week, it was wonderful to see everyone exploring and extending their learning across our continuous provision areas. To finish off the week we had a parent story time 📚 A big thank you to the grown-ups who joined us, the children loved having you all there! We are looking forward to another fantastic week ahead! 😃 ... See MoreSee Less

Don’t forget to go along to the junior park run tomorrow! This could be the week we win the trophy again!✨ SCHOOLS SURVEY IS BACK IN THE MORNING ✨
It’s that day of the month where we take a tally of the schools of our participants to see which school brings the highest % of their school to our event.
There are two trophies up for grabs:
INNER SPENNYMOOR TROPHY - It’s been Rosa Street’s for the last two months, where previously it lived at Kirk Merrington. The only other school to have won in the past has been King Street. Usually in the Top 3 are either St Charles or Tudhoe Colliery with good showings from Springmoor Grange as well. Last month saw a big increase for Middlestone Moor, and were hoping for the same from North Park too!
OUTER SPENNYMOOR TROPHY - This is the trophy for the school that brings the highest % from a school outside of Spennymoor. Current holders are Escomb, and previous winners have been Cleves Cross, Toft Hill and Dean Bank .. will one of these schools take the trophy back to their school or is it another schools time?
Remember, the speed the course is completed does not matter, each junior is counted equally whether they are the first, fifth, fifteenth or fiftieth finisher. ... See MoreSee Less
