Pupil Premium Strategy Plan: Statement of Intent
Our intention is that all students, irrespective of their background or the challenges they face, make good progress across the curriculum.
The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to support disadvantaged pupils to achieve that goal, including progress for those who are already high attainers. We will consider the challenges faced by vulnerable students, such as those who have a social worker and young carers. The activity we have outlined in this statement is also intended to support their needs, regardless of whether they are disadvantaged or not.
High-quality teaching is at the heart of our approach, with a focus on areas in which disadvantaged pupils require the most support. This is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantage attainment gap and at the same time will benefit the non-disadvantaged pupils in our school. Implicit in the intended outcomes detailed below, is the intention that non-disadvantaged pupils’ attainment will be sustained and improved alongside progress for their disadvantaged peers.
Our approach will be responsive to common challenges and individual needs, rooted in robust diagnostic assessment, not assumptions about the impact of disadvantage. The approaches we have adopted complement each other to help students excel. To ensure they are effective we will:
• Ensure we have the same expectations of all students irrespective of background
• Ensure that all students have equal access to curriculum opportunity
• Identify socioeconomic barriers to access and intervene as appropriate
• Adopt a whole school approach in which all staff have the same expectations of all students
