Pupil Premium
At Blenheim Primary School, we have high expectations of all pupils and our aim is for disadvantaged pupils to achieve higher standards than their peers nationally, focusing particularly on attainment in reading, writing and maths.
We track the achievement of these pupils closely and report their progress termly in Pupil Progress meetings involving school leaders; this allows us to regularly review and adapt our provision. A key component of our current strategy is to develop teaching across the school so that all pupils’ learning improves, focusing on teachers’ understanding of cognitive science, curriculum design and effective pedagogy.
Our assessment framework enables us to identify pupils at risk of not meeting age related expectations; these pupils receive targeted academic support, such as interventions and booster groups to raise attainment, or other strategies to improve pupil behaviour and wellbeing. Our aim is for the balance of these strategies to ensure that disadvantaged pupils have the best possible chances of success.
