We are ambitious for all of our children and are proud of our success in supporting children eligible for pupil premium funding.  Our data and other diagnostic tools show us 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 they are able to attend school fully.
2. To prioritise reading and language development so that PPM children and those needing reading support are given the best change to access the curriculum and express themselves in line with their peers.
3. Through establishing stronger links between reading and writing, to ensure that our PPM children are able to record their thoughts and learning through writing.
4. To ensure their wellbeing is catered for, so that they are confident, independent learners and feel supported to achieve and can report that they have self-belief and improves self-esteem.
5. To ensure they have the necessary information, wider experiences and cultural capital to access the curriculum and succeed in line with their peers with equal opportunity and access to the wider curriculum.
