Pupil Premium

At Bearwood Primary and Nursery School, our vision is that all of our children, learn,
enjoy and succeed together. We believe that the highest possible standards can only
be achieved by having the highest expectations of all learners. Children should have
an equitable opportunity to develop imagination and creativity through an enriched curriculum; the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills, and personal qualities necessary
to become a lifelong successful learner.

The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to support disadvantaged pupils to achieve
that goal. Our intention is that non-disadvantaged pupils’ attainment will be sustained
alongside progress for their disadvantaged peers.

High quality teaching is at the heart of our school, and this is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantage attainment gap and at the same time will benefit the non-disadvantaged pupils in our school.

To this end, our strategy is based on the EEF recommended, tiered approach to funding:
• High Quality teaching,
• Targeted academic support, and
• Wider strategies

Through regular assessment points and pupil progress meetings, we will ensure that
provision remains evidence based, targeted and responsive to barriers to learning. This
is a whole school approach in which all staff take responsibility for disadvantaged pupils’ outcomes and raise expectations of what they can achieve.
