Pupil Premium Report 2013-14 - Corbets Tey School

The Pupil Premium
Principles
· We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of the pupils
· We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups,
this includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately
assessed and addressed
· In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who
receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged
· We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or
qualify for free school meals.
· Pupil Premium will be allocated to each pupil receiving free school meals according to their
particular learning need
· The focus of the Pupil Premium spending will be to raise the attainment of pupils receiving
free school meals
Provision
· All our work through the pupil premium will be aimed at providing additional, individualised
learning opportunities and enabling maximum progress.
· The Governors of the school will publish information on how they have used their Pupil
Premium Grant (PPG) to address the issue of narrowing the gap, for socially
disadvantaged pupils.
The Governors have targeted the PPG to:

In the financial year 2012/13
PPG was used to:

· To improve communication, interaction and other learning opportunities throughout the
curriculum

opportunities at home
The impact of PPG was:

teaching
