Pupil Premium 

To raise the achievement of all disadvantaged pupils, the government has provided schools with additional funding.  This funding is known as the pupil premium grant.  Schools are required to publish details online each year on how they are using the pupil premium and the impact it is having.

What we expect to see:

We believe outstanding teaching and learning is key to the progress of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.  This remains a consistent and relentless focus.  In addition to this, targeted intervention and support strategies are deployed in order to:

  • Improve levels of attainment and progress;
  • Close attainment gaps relative to school averages;
  • Enhance reading, writing, mathematics and communication skills;
  • Engage and develop learning through a comprehensive extra-curricular provision;

Have a clear focus on all disadvantaged pupils, including those with SEND and more able pupils and support pupils in becoming aspirational, confident and successful learners

Our core aims for Pupil Premium are:

  • To raise the attainment and progress of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding so that their performance compares favourably with non-pupil premium peers.
  • Address inequalities in education of pupils from low-income families and raise attainment of these pupils.

Please see our Pupil Premium Strategy for this academic year below.

British Values 

At Long Lawford Primary School we look "to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs."

British Values are woven into the whole curriculum and are promoted by all staff at every opportunity.

Equality Objectives
 

As a school we welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010.  The general duties are to:

  • eliminate discrimination
  • advance equality of opportunity
  • foster good relations

We understand the principle of the Act and the work needed to ensure that those with protected characteristics are not discriminated against and are given equality of opportunity. 

We are committed to ensuring equality of provision throughout the school community. To achieve this, our equality objectives are as follows:

  • Undertake an analysis of recruitment data and trends in regard to race, gender and disability by July, and report on this to the staffing and pay sub-committee of the governing board.
  • Train all members of staff and governors involved in recruitment and selection on equal opportunities and non-discrimination by the beginning of the next academic year. Training evaluation data will show that 100% of those attending have a good understanding of the legal requirements.
  • Ensure the curriculum in school embeds the promotion of equality and equity within the school and local community.
  • To ensure the school gives opportunities to participate in pupil voice and pupil leadership activities that are assessable to all category of pupil.

PE and Sport Funding
 

In order to improve the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of all pupils and engage them in healthy lifestyles, the Government has provided schools with additional funding.  This funding is known as the PE and Sport Grant.  

Long Lawford Primary School has long recognised the contribution of PE to not only the physical health and wellbeing of its pupils, but also how PE contributes to the positive mental wellbeing of its pupils. We also acknowledge that a broad, balanced, high quality curriculum and extra-curricular activities have a positive impact on concentration, attitude and achievement.  We are committed to ensure that all pupils receive a minimum of 2 hours of PE per week, delivered by well trained and enthusiastic teachers.

Information regarding how the PE and Sport Grant is used, please see the below spending plan.

COVID-19 Catch-Up Premium 

The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up lost time after partial school closures from March 2020. This is especially important for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds. 

Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the curriculum expectations for the next academic year in full school opening guidance.

While schools can use their funding in a way that suits their cohort and circumstances, they are expected to use this funding for specific activities which will help pupils catch up on missed education.

Long Lawford Primary School's Catch-Up Premium Plan can be found below and on the COVID 19 information Page.
