Main barriers to educational achievement faced by eligible pupils

Low levels of oral language and vocabulary which impacts on access to all
areas of learning and the curriculum.

Family engagement, support at home and educational aspirations.

Spending the pupil premium allocation to address barriers and reasons for the approach

To ensure all pupil premium children make at least good progress. Children
who need to make accelerated progress are identified and interventions are
put in place for those children. Teachers identify all interventions for pupil
premium children to enable good progress from their starting point. At Key
Stage 1, we are aiming to close the gap between pupil premium and non pupil
premium children, particularly in Maths. All teachers performance
management target is to ensure that pupil premium children make good
progress.
