All schools in England have the flexibility to spend the funding in the way that works best for them, in line with the guidance on curriculum expectations. This could include:

Supporting the quality of teaching, such as staff professional development
Dealing with non-academic barriers to success in school, such as attendance, behaviour and social and emotional support
Providing targeted academic support.

Like the Pupil Premium, schools can:

spend the Recovery Premium on a wider cohort of pupils than those who attract the funding
direct Recovery Premium spending where they think the need is greatest.
