At Holy Trinity Catholic Primary School, we provide a happy, nurturing and supportive environment where all children are encouraged to reach their full potential. We have high aspirations for all our children and strongly believe that educational success is not about where you come from. To ensure our Pupil Premium funding is spent in the most effective ways we aim to: • • • • • •
Target the funding well from the outset, being responsive and flexible to individual needs. Use progress data and information effectively to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual pupils and groups, in particular those children underachieving and eligible for Pupil Premium, and target intervention and support to accelerate their progress. Use effective intervention strategies to improve achievement in English and mathematics Ensure that well trained staff help raise standards for all pupils. Identify and minimise the barriers to learning achievement, regularly reviewing the circumstances effecting the learning of individuals. Actively involve the governing body in decision making processes and the monitoring and evaluation of effective Pupil Premium spend.
Rationale for making decisions about the most effective approaches to improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils From research, we also know that schools that are most effective in improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils always use evidence about what makes a real difference. To improve outcomes for our disadvantaged pupils, school leaders will work with colleagues to: • • • • • • •
Make the achievement of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium funding their number one priority. Use research evidence, including The Sutton Trust and Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) Toolkits to inform spending decisions. Take a whole school approach to quality first teaching, which sets high aspirations for all pupils. Recognise that disadvantaged pupils are not a homogenous group and whilst children may face similar challenges, it is vital to identify each individual’s barriers to learning. Use different approaches for groups or individual’s barriers to learning, depending on identified need. Ensure every member of staff knows who disadvantaged pupils are and takes an interest in their success. Have a designated Pupil Premium Champion (Deputy Headteacher) who undertakes regular research on effective strategies, analyses the impact of spending, and supports staff while holding them to account for pupil outcomes.
