Netherseal St Peter's CE Primary School

Netherseal St. Peter’s provides an inclusive environment where learners enjoy their education and we have high expectations and ambitions for all of our pupils. Our intention is that all pupils, irrespective of their background or the challenges they face, are helped to achieve their potential. High-quality teaching is at the heart of our approach - this is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantage attainment gap and at the same time benefits the non-disadvantaged pupils in our school. As such, we prioritise building on our children’s actual starting points and secure prior learning when designing our curriculum, school development plan and pupil premium strategy. 

The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to provide a tiered approach to Pupil Premium spending. This helps us to balance approaches to improve teaching, targeted academic support, and wider strategies, thus enabling disadvantaged pupils to achieve their goals, including progress for those who are already high attainers.

• High quality teaching
• Targeted academic support
• Wider strategies

Our strategy is integral to wider school plans for education recovery, notably in its targeted support for pupils whose education has been worst affected by the pandemic, including non-disadvantaged pupils.   

Our approach is responsive to common challenges and individual needs. The approaches we have adopted complement each other to help pupils excel. To ensure they are effective we will:

• ensure disadvantaged pupils are challenged in the work that they’re set
• act early to intervene at the point need is identified
• adopt a whole school approach in which all staff take responsibility for disadvantaged pupils’ outcomes and raise expectations of what they can achieve
