Pupil Premium

At Bordesley Green Primary school, we are committed to ensuring that each individual pupil receives the very best education allowing them to reach their full potential academically and socially.

This belief is reflected in our school ethos: We care, we create, we champion

We believe in this for every child, regardless of background. Our learning culture ensures that we have the highest expectations of all children.

When deciding how to spend the Pupil Premium Grant (‘PPG’) it is important that we look at the potential barriers to learning faced by Pupil Premium pupils in the context of our school. The reasons for underachievement are many and varied and could include; less support at home; social and emotional difficulties due to complex family situations or attendance and punctuality difficulties. Each child entitled to the PPG is unique in their situation and our response to their needs must reflect this.

With this in mind, at Bordesley Green we aim to build the capacity and expertise to enable us to provide a highly personalised programme of support in order to allow each child to reach their full potential.

Our key objective in using the PPG is to narrow the attainment and achievement gap for pupils identified as being eligible the Pupil Premium Grant.

We will ensure that:

  • A high profile is given to Pupil Premium Pupils
  • All staff are accountable for the progress of Pupil Premium children

The progress and attainment of all pupils at Bordesley Green is carefully tracked and analysed from a rich field of data in order to draw conclusions and develop action plans. We also make use of a wide range of educational research in order to decide how best to spend our funding to maximise the opportunities for our pupils.
