What is the Recovery Premium
The Recovery premium is part of the government’s package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by COVID-19.
It is a time-limited grant providing over £300 million of additional funding for state-funded schools in the 2021/22 academic year and £1 billion across the 2022/23 and 2023/24 academic years.
It is focused on pupils who are eligible for pupil premium and pupils in specialist settings such as:
- special schools
- special units
- pupil referral units (PRUs)
This is because of the additional impact of the pandemic on these students
