Barriers to Learning:

We have identified that children in receipt of PPG sometimes have speech and language needs and/or a more limited vocabulary; they may need support with early reading or language acquisition; they may read less and often have less confidence in their own academic abilities or sense of self. The children may not have access to wider experiences within the arts, sports and outdoor activities, or participate in more cultural events. Some of our children in receipt of PPG have greater Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs, for example they may have experienced early trauma or have an increased level of anxiety which can become a barrier to learning.

Strategy and Objectives - What we aim to achieve:

Having identified key areas of need and potential barriers to learning, as outlined above, we set objectives in line with the School Improvement Plan and review these to ensure impact.

Our strategy, each academic year, centres around inclusion, aspiration and experience for all children, in line with our vision for education - 'To Inspire, Enable and Educate for Life in all its Fullness.'

​The impact of actions and spending is monitored and evaluated by our Pupil Premium Governor as well as within the Curriculum School Improvement and SEND, Safeguarding and Equality Committee meetings. It is also reported to Full Governors.
