Allocation of Pupil Premium Funding

​

The Pupil Premium funding is not necessarily intended to be specifically allocated to individual pupils. Along with many other schools, we have decided that for the maximum number of pupils to be supported and for greatest impact we have pooled this additional funding.

 

In this way we can use the funds to 

 

1.  Spend on improving teaching and provide professional development opportunities to improve teacher/TA knowledge and skills. Ensuring an effective teacher is in front of every class and that every teacher is supported to keep improving, is a key ingredient to the success of our provision and is, therefore, the top priority for our Pupil Premium spending.

 

2. Targe academic support to use a variety of strategies from one-to-one or small group interventions that work alongside to complement and enhance effective classroom teaching and learning.

 

3. Provide support in tackling the most significant, non-academic, barriers to success at school, including attendance, behaviour and social and emotional support.

 

The impact of our strategy is measured every year in our annual Pupil Premium Strategy Report - see below.
