Pupil Premium
At Bishop’s Hull Primary School, we are committed to raising the achievement, progress, ambition and wider development of disadvantaged pupils by narrowing the gap between their outcomes and those of their peers from more advantaged backgrounds.
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is a government initiative which targets extra money towards pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Research shows that pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds underachieve compared to their peers. Pupil Premium funding is provided to enable these pupils to be supported to reach their potential.
At Bishop’s Hull the priorities for our Pupil Premium spending are targeted interventions focusing on those curriculum objectives that pupils in receipt of the funding need to work on:
Accelerated progress for pupils in EYFS will ensure pupils catch up rapidly.
Pupils’ emotional well-being is promoted and supported.
Accelerated progress across Key Stage 1 and 2 ensures children working below expectation catch up rapidly.
Opportunities for ‘More-Able’ children are available to support them to reach the Greater Depth standard in both Key Stages.
Combined attainment at Key Stage 1 and 2 meets National standards.
Attendance is in line with National benchmarks.
Parents of pupils are engaged in their children’s learning and pupils are well supported at home.
Throughout the school year we track our pupils through pupil progress meetings. Using data collected, we are able to work strategically to close gaps for these pupils using the funds available. The effectiveness of the interventions funded by Pupil Premium is looked at in detail and actions are drawn up to help accelerate progress.
