Pupil Premium
Spending
The Pupil Premium is an opportunity to narrow the gap in achievement between disadvantaged pupils and their better-off peers.
At Crow Lane, the targetd and strategic use of of the grant supports us in achieving our vision for all children to achieve at school and be ready for the move to secondary school, including closing the gap in academic outcomes between children from more advantaged homes. We use national research (Education Endowment Foundation; Sutton Trust; Ofsted, etc) to enable and inform how we spend the money. The Pupil Premium stratgey documnent, covering a three-year period and updated annually, can be found below.
Principles
- We ensure teaching and learning meest the needs of all pupils.
- We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of children who are socio-economically disadvantaged are recognised and addressed.
- We recognise, and do not make assumptions otherwise, that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged.
- We also recognise that not all pupils who are disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We reserve the right to allocate the use of the pupil premium to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school identifies as being at a disadvantage in some way, e.g. known to social care services, have SEND.
