STATEMENT OF INTENT.

• All members of staff, governors and teaching assistants accept responsibility for ‘socially disadvantaged’ pupils and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs within the school environment. Careful consideration of Pupil Premium funding is one aspect of this.
• When making decisions about using Pupil Premium funding it is important to consider the context of our school and the subsequent challenges faced. This is considered alongside research conducted by the EEF.
• Pupil Premium funding helps remove barriers to learning so that all our pupils reach their full potential and enables them to fully engage in our curriculum and school life. The governors reserve the right to allocate the pupil premium funding to support any pupils or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.

PRINCIPLES & AIMS

We are committed  :

• To narrow the attainment gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils both nationally and within school data.
• To accelerate progress of all  disadvantaged pupils in school to exceed nationally expected progress rates to reach age related expectation
• To address the barriers of social, emotional and mental health needs which impact on learning, behaviour, confidence and resilience
• To address the barriers of low attendance, punctuality and disrupted education amongst PPG pupils
• To broaden experiences and improve access to learning opportunities and resources including books, trips and workshops to increase cultural capital.
• To  increase levels of parental engagement   by endeavouring to confidence,  language and economic barriers
• To  increase parental knowledge of the curriculum to enable parents to support their children
• To address the barriers of low attendance, punctuality and disrupted education amongst PPG pupils

Challenge number

Detail of challenge

1

Economic deprivation: Many families live in overcrowded, temporary housing which results in a lack of space and resources to study at home and/or play safely outside. Families have been adversely impacted by the pandemic including loss of school learning time, employment and networks of support.

2

 Literacy and communication skills which have been impacted further by a loss of learning time due to school and class closures.   This includes the attainment of pupil premium pupils entering the school from March 2020.

3

Restricted opportunities for a breadth of cultural and shared British cultural experiences. Cost, experience and language act as barriers which   impede our children’s opportunities to access broader social and educational activities.

4

 The high percentage of pupils who  have English as a second language along with high mobility of pupils including  the arrival of pupils new to the country from March 2020  has impacted on pupil progress and attainment.

5

   Some children have been adversely affected by the pandemic, including children who qualify for PP which has impacted on their physical, social, emotional and mental wellbeing. (high percentage of child obesity)

Intended outcome
