When deciding how to spend the pupil premium grant it is important that we look at the potential barriers to learning faced by pupil premium pupils in the context of our school. The reasons for underachievement are many and varied and could include: less support at home; social and emotional difficulties due to complex family situations or attendance and punctuality difficulties. Each child entitled to the pupil premium grant is unique in their situation and our response to their needs must reflect this.
With this in mind, at Callowell we aim to build the capacity and expertise to enable us to provide a highly personalised programme of support in order to allow each child to reach his/her full potential.
Our key objective in using the pupil premium grant is:
- Narrow the attainment gap between pupil premium an non pupil premium pupils
- Improve behaviour that can impact negatively on standards
- Focus on regular attendance and punctuality
- Promote reading at school and at home
We will ensure that:
• A high profile is given to Pupil Premium Pupils
• All staff are accountable for the progress of Pupil Premium children
The progress and attainment of all pupils at Callowell is carefully tracked and analysed from a rich field of data in order to draw conclusions and develop action plans. We also make use of a wide range of educational research in order to decide how best to spend our funding to maximise the opportunities for our pupils.
