Game Time reduces holiday learning loss
Game Time prevents learning loss over the school holidays, particularly over the summer.
“Learning loss” refers to the months of learning pupils are behind following the pandemic, compared to a typical, pre-pandemic school year. (Education Policy Institute. Secondary schools with a high proportion of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds had learning losses 50% higher than those serving fewer pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds (losing 2.2 months vs 1.5 months of learning during the summer holidays). Pupils eligible for free school meals showed greater levels of learning loss than their peers from more financially advantaged backgrounds. Average learning loss in reading for primary school-aged pupils eligible for free school meals in March 2021 was 2.7 months. However, by summer term, this decreased to 1.2 months.

At the same time, learning loss in reading for secondary-aged pupils eligible for free school meals actually increased over the academic year 2020-21. In autumn, reading losses for disadvantaged pupils were 1.9 months, but by summer 2021, this had increased to 2.4 months.
