Pupil Premium Strategy Statement

Cleaswell Hill School are aware of the latest DfE guidance; https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pupil-premium-effective-use-and-accountability and have utilised the recommended format for recording information on effective use of funding to raise attainment.

We use data tracking systems developed for SEND provisions to robustly quantify progress and achievement from a baseline. However, attainment within Cleaswell Hill School is not an appropriate benchmark as none of our pupils can be compared with national standards data on achievement and progress against norms.

As recommended, our approach, reinforced by research from the EEF, is tiered, and prioritises improvements in the quality of teaching, including supporting pupils’ access to learning, which is integral to whole school policy.

We know that the utilisation of the Pupil Premium Grant will benefit the wider groupings in school, specifically raising the quality of interventions provided in supporting best outcomes.

Grant from April 2021;

• Free School Meals- £1,345 primary age pupil, £955 secondary age pupils; £2,345 Previously/Looked After pupil; £310 Service Premium

An annual review is written based on the Pupil Premium Strategy Statement, which can be closely monitored by School Leaders including Governors. This provides information on expected impact and outcomes and supports robust evaluation leading to the identification of subsequent year’s expenditure.
