Key principles for using the Pupil Premium grant at Mary Hare School:
to raise achievements for pupils who are eligible for Pupil Premium and to ‘close the gap’ between those eligible and their non-eligible peers
to ‘bring out the best’ in this group of pupils
to tackle the range of barriers including; attendance, behaviour, self-esteem, improving the quality of teaching and learning, language acquisition, parental engagement and development of literacy and numeracy skills
to track and enable thorough analysis of data to identify pupils who are under achieving and why
to direct resources and interventions to accelerate progress of eligible pupils and close the attainment gap compared to their peers
to use data to carefully track the impact of targeted spending (interventions, projects or pedagogy) on attainment and progress of eligible pupils
to have a clear overview of how funding is allocated and the difference it is making to the outcomes of pupils
to ensure teachers and support staff know which pupils are eligible for Pupil Premium so they can take responsibility for accelerating progress and accountability is shared across the school
to ensure the leadership team and the Governing Body is ambitious for pupils and closely monitors the school’s effectiveness in closing the gap between different groups of pupils
to share relevant information with parents of pupil premium pupils.
