Pupil Premium Pledge, Report & Strategy

Pupil Premium (PP) is available for Schools and Academies to provide additional support for students who fall into one or more of the following categories:

  • have received free school meals at any point in the last six years
  • are looked-after children
  • are children adopted from care
  • are children of service personnel

All Pupil Premium students in Years 7 to 11 will be clearly identified on BROMCOM, in Departmental Common Markbooks and in the School’s Core/Data Target Sheets for each year group.

At Barton Manor School we have a relatively high number of pupils eligible for PP, however, it is important that PP is used effectively. The Pupil Premium Grant is an additional sum of money paid to all schools in order to tackle disadvantage resulting from low income or family circumstance. It allows schools to address inequality and provide for the pupils who need it most. The Government allows schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils in this setting. Schools are held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families.

Schools have the freedom to spend the Premium, which is additional to the underlying school budget, in a way they think will best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils. At Barton Manor School, we encourage parents to register their child as eligible for free school meals so that the Pupil Premium entitlement can be accessed to support these children. Pupil Premium funding is used flexibly to respond to the needs of our pupils, either individually or in groups. As part of our ethos, we are committed to helping all of our pupils to fulfil their potential, regardless of circumstances.

Aim

Barton Manor School (BMS) aims to realise the potential of all its pupils to achieve their very best; this means tackling and overcoming obstacles to achievement and progress caused by material disadvantage; closing attainment and progress gaps; and ensuring full access to the curriculum and wider extra-curricular programme.

Objectives

Targeted support and strategies resulting in every pupil, however financially disadvantaged, being able to:

• improve levels of attainment and progress

• close attainment gaps relative to school averages

• have full access to the curriculum

• access the extra-curricular provision

At BMS we have a number of different initiatives in place to further support the learning of PP students. All staff are expected to adhere to our Pupil Premium F1RST initiative, a whole-school initiative which aims to give disadvantaged students priority in all aspects of their education, primarily through classroom teachers targeting those students before any others.

The idea behind Pupil Premium F1RST is a simple one; these disadvantaged students, of whom they may only be one or two in each class, are always looked at first, and given the first opportunity in most or all situations.

Pupil Premium F1RST has little or no additional cost in terms of time or money, but can have a big cumulative impact.

Some of the main strategies are as follows:

  • Books and equipment out: always check PP students have these ready at the start of the lesson first
  • Date and heading in books: always check PP students have done this before anyone else
  • Class questioning: always ask PP students first
  • Checking understanding: always check PP students before anyone else
  • Group presentations: always ensure PP students present first
  • Recording homework: always check PP students have written in their homework before any others
  • Handing in homework: always check PP students have handed in homework first
  • Book marking: always mark PP students’ books first
  • Giving rewards: always reward PP students first
  • Choosing volunteers: always choose PP students first
  • Contacting parents/school communications: always contact PP students’ parents first
  • Form tutor monitoring and support: always see PP students first
  • Mentoring/1:1 support: always arrange for PP students first
  • Places on Trips: always check PP students have taken up places first

Colleagues who are aware of any other Pupil Premium F1RST strategies that are worth using are encouraged to share these across the School.

If the progress of some students demonstrates a need for additional support we will do our best to offer this, and will work with parents in sharing what can be offered. Our Pupil Premium Strategy statement is available to view on our website and this details all the different approaches that are on offer.

Educational visits and enrichment activities are enjoyable and add to the learning students receive inside the classroom. PP students may be eligible for some financial support towards such activities and this is arranged by the Trust Chief Finance Officer for all PP students across the Trust. We always try our very best to provide financial support if funding is available.
