Pupil Premium: The key priorities:

Our core aim is:

• To raise the attainment and progress of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding so that their performance compares favourably with Non-Pupil Premium peers.

• Address inequalities in education of pupils from low-income families and raise attainment of these pupils.
  What we expect to see:
  Outstanding teaching and learning is paramount to the progress of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. This remains a consistent and relentless focus. In addition to this, targeted intervention and support strategies are deployed in order to:

• Improve levels of attainment and progress;

• Close attainment gaps relative to school averages;

• Enhance reading, writing, mathematics and communication skills;

• Engage and develop learning through a comprehensive extra-curricular provision;

• Have a clear focus on all disadvantaged pupils, including those with SEND and more able pupils and

• Support pupils in becoming aspirational, confident and successful learners
