We are ambitious for all of our children.  Research shows that whole school initiatives that support high quality first teaching as well as personalised pastoral support have had the biggest impact on outcomes and this underpins our current and previous PPM strategy. 

Based on our previous impact to date and the needs of our children, our strategy for this academic year has these key themes:

1. To ensure that children are able to attend school fully.

2. To prioritise reading and language development, including vocabulary acquisition so that PPM children and those needing reading support are given the best chance to access the curriculum and express themselves in line with their peers.

3. To improve the oracy skills of PPM children in order to remove barriers to communication, enabling them to express themselves effectively and access the curriculum on an equitable basis.

4. To ensure their well-being is fully supported so they can become confident, independent learners who feel encouraged to achieve and can report increased self-belief and self-esteem.

5. To ensure they have the necessary information, experiences and cultural capital to access the curriculum and succeed in line with their peers with equal opportunity and access to the wider curriculum
