The department received claims to the 2020 COVID-19 workforce fund from 974 schools and made payments to 902 schools.

All schools that met the conditions set out in the guidance were paid. We are intending to publish school-level data on payments this month. The claims window for the current round of the COVID-19 workforce fund, which covers absences from 22 November 2021 until 18 February 2022, will open in the spring. Data on those payments will be published in due course.
