CatchUp.org

Catch Up® is a not-for-profit charity working to address literacy and numeracy difficulties that contribute to underachievement. We offer two structured one-to-one interventions, Catch Up® Literacy and Catch Up® Numeracy, proven to significantly improve the achievement of learners who find literacy or numeracy difficult. We work with primary and secondary schools and other education establishments across the country providing affordable online training and tailored programmes to help their students to excel in core subjects. Our interventions are based on rigorous academic research and are targeted to the needs of individual learners. They involve 15-minute individual sessions delivered twice a week by teaching assistants, teachers or mentors. Over 500,000 struggling learners have been helped with the Catch Up® interventions and over 33,000 supporting adults, including teaching assistants, teachers, carers and mentors from the UK and worldwide, have been trained to deliver them. Catch Up® is now used in over 6,000 schools across the UK, with both interventions being available in English and Welsh medium.
