St Elphin's CE Primary School

St Elphin’s Primary School Pupil Premium 

At St Elphin’s Primary School, we all work together to provide a consistent approach to the teaching of all subjects, ensuring that knowledge and concepts are built on and regularly reviewed and refined as children progress through our school. We have high ambitions for our all children and believe that each child should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential regardless of their background. Pupil Premium represents a significant proportion of our budget and this statement outlines how it is spent and the impact it has.

Pupil premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils.

We have chosen to use this funding to:

* Narrow the gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils in reading, writing and maths.

* Enable all disadvantaged pupils in school to meet or exceed nationally defined progress rates.

* Enhance positive life experiences.

* Develop resilient learners who are confident and motivated to learn.

Further details of activities used to support these targets can be found within our Pupil Premium Strategy below. This strategy will be implemented across a three-year period though will be monitored regularly by the Pupil Premium Lead, Pupil Premium Governor and Headteacher.
