PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING

Pupil Premium Statement

At Carlton J and I School, we aim to ensure targeted use of Pupil Premium provision to support children at the school in accessing and achieving academic, personal, spiritual and social development so that all children can achieve their full potential.

We have a detailed focus on the specific ring-fenced funding on supporting disadvantaged pupils to achieve their highest levels of achievement and attainment possible, so narrowing the gap between themselves and pupils from more affluent backgrounds.

Aims and Objectives:

  • To promote a high profile approach to meeting the needs of disadvantaged pupils.
  • To analyse pupil data and information in order to identify circumstances that may be barriers to learning.
  • To provide a plan of support provision based on pupil data and current relevant pupil information.
  • To ensure the best possible delivery of teaching and learning provision in all classrooms.
  • To provide a wide range of targeted group and individual support packages designed to meet the needs of specific vulnerable pupils.

  • To provide support for pupil positive thinking through effective mentoring in order to be able to maintain high aspirations during any time of personal crisis.
  • To support and promote good attendance
  • To offer a rich and varied curriculum of educational experiences to broaden the opportunities of specific vulnerable pupils.
  • To ensure that social / economic barriers do not cause vulnerable children to be unable to participate fully in school life and educational experiences.
  • To ensure regular monitoring and evaluation of support measures in order to assess impact and ensure effectiveness. This will inform future plans, provide accountability and develop best-value measures.

  • Progress and attainment tracking
