The DfE provided additional funding to schools for each Y7 pupil who has not achieved age related in reading and/or maths at Key Stage 2. All state-funded schools receive an additional £500 (maximum) for each Year 7 pupil who had not achieved at least age related in reading and/or maths at Key Stage 2. This funding is not ring-fenced, however there is an expectation that pupils are given the support required to ensure they are more likely to succeed ‘at secondary school’.
