Catch Up has developed two educational interventions to support struggling learners: Catch Up Literacy and Catch Up Numeracy (both in English and Welsh).

Both interventions are targeted to the needs of individual learners, both are grounded in rigorous academic research, and both have been shown to lead to gains of more than twice the period of intervention.

We estimate that almost 180,000 learners in England and Wales have benefited from Catch Up support.

The Catch Up interventions are available within comprehensive training and support packages, and are delivered by teachers, teaching assistants and carers who have received the training. Click here to request Catch Up training.

Cost effective and sustainable

Catch Up Literacy and Catch Up Numeracy are both cost-effective and sustainable. Over four years, in a typical school, each Catch Up intervention can work out to less than £120.00 per struggling learner (including staff costs).

Evidence-based

The Catch Up interventions have both been identified by the DCSF as evidence-based Wave 3 interventions (interventions that have been shown to provide effective one-to-one support for struggling learners).
