The Government agrees that schools, youth organisations and families should work closely together to support disadvantaged young people. We are committed to championing Family Hubs, which bring together a range of statutory and voluntary services for families with children of all ages, including young people. The Department will continue to champion strong multi-academy trusts, as they are best-placed to foster positive relationships with parents and families, and to collaborate with a range of local partners and services to deliver a holistic offer of support that serves all disadvantaged children. Regarding extra-curricular activities, as set out in the response to recommendation 3, the Department for Education’s Character Benchmarks advice already includes a non-exhaustive list of organisations which support personal development in children and young people. We will continue to work with school leaders and teachers, and across government departments, including DCMS and CLG, to understand what more the Department can do to support schools to take an evidence-led approach to the provision of high-quality extra-curricular activities. We have also announced a one-off recovery premium for the 2021/22 academic year which will build on the Pupil Premium to support the most disadvantaged pupils. Like the Pupil Premium, schools can spend the recovery premium on a wider cohort of pupils than those who attract the funding and can use it to tackle non-academic barriers to success in school, such as attendance, behaviour and social and emotional support. This could include funding projects run by external youth organisations.
