The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers. Schools must publish a strategy for their use of the pupil premium. Below is a summary of our strategy. A copy of our full strategy is available in the documents section.

We have identified the following barriers to attainment:
Low attainment on entry
Social and emotional needs that have an effect on relationships, learning and progress
Behaviour and attitudes to learning
Some of our pupils live in areas of poverty
Attendance rates for pupils eligible for pupil premium are below other children nationally
Some of our pupils have complex family circumstances
How we have planned to use pupil premium allocation:
Increase the amount of children achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths by providing
same day teacher led intervention
additional high quality first teaching for groups as identified in data tracking
evidence based interventions following set programmes
CPD for all teachers - SSIF Maths Mastery Programme
quality first teaching and a whole school approach to using Thrive to support behaviour
Engage families with school and contribute positively to their child’s education by providing
additional Parent Support Advisor to work with parents, including in Nursery
Family Learning sessions
Help children regulate their own emotions by
Thrive training for new staff
employing two learning mentors to work with children using the Thrive approach
providing a buddy for children to talk to and discuss any problems they might have
Increase attendance by employing an Education Welfare Officer to monitor and analyse data, and work with families to improve attendance
Providing funded Breakfast Club Places
