This half-day course is aimed primarily at senior leaders of Primary schools who have responsibility for allocating and measuring the impact of pupil premium funding who want to take a fresh look at their current practice or who may be new to the role.

The government regularly reviews its guidance on pupil premium funding and holds school leaders and school governing bodies accountable for its impact in the following ways:

  • performance tables, which show the performance of disadvantaged pupils compared with their peers;

  • requiring schools to publish details online each year of how they are using the pupil premium and the impact it is having on pupil achievement;

  • the Ofsted inspection framework, where inspectors focus on the attainment of pupil groups, particularly, those who attract pupil premium funding.

Objectives

The course will provide opportunities for you to consider:

  • Pupil premium funding - maximising the use of this particularly in the current climate and considering the expectations outlined in the inspection framework.

  • Using the research and evidence to tell us about the progress and gains that disadvantaged pupils can make and considering what the best teaching and learning practice and opportunities look like.

  • School leadership and governance – supporting you in writing your documentation/action planning and evidencing impact.

Benefits of attending the training:

The training will help you consider up-to-date materials to provide greater clarity about how you identify and support your most vulnerable learners. It will provide you with ideas to add real focus to your self-evaluation and review procedures from a whole school perspective.
