Context
In 2011 the Government introduced Pupil Premium funding to improve outcomes for socially disadvantaged students. This initiative will play an important part in the educational and social development of individual students who are entitled to the Pupil Premium.
All members of staff and governors accept responsibility for pupil premium students and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs whilst at The Queen Elizabeth Academy.
We will ensure that these students are treated equally and as favourably as others and that the additional funding is used effectively to address the challenges they face. The Queen Elizabeth Academy will use the additional funding to promote the achievement and progress of all entitled students, paying particular regard to the effectiveness of quality first teaching.
Objectives
The Pupil Premium will be used to provide additional educational support to improve the progress and raise the standard of achievement for these students.
The additional funding will be used to close the gap between the achievement of these students and their peers.
We will ensure that the additional funding reaches the students who need it most and that it makes a significant impact on their education and lives.
