This programme will look at the issues associated with educational disadvantage and help school leaders identify the specific challenges faced by their pupils. We will then explore how the research evidence can be used to produce a high impact Pupil Premium strategy, aimed at closing the attainment gap.
Who is it aimed at?
Leaders in primary or secondary schools who are responsible for the pupil premium strategy.
What will be covered?
- Understanding how socio economic disadvantage impacts learning in your school?
- How might the tiered approach support our efforts to address this.
- How can we use the research evidence to make decisions around pupil premium spending.
- How will this improve provision for disadvantaged pupils?
- Understand how to implement a cohesive and evidence informed pupil premium strategy
What will you know/be able to do by the end of the programme?
- Review your current PP strategy and update this based on an evidence informed approach.
- Produce a detailed implementation plan to tackle socio-econmic disadvantage in your school.
- Feel confident to deliver this implementation plan in your school.
What will be the potential impact on teachers and pupils as a result of this training?
- All teachers and leaders will understand:
- How socio-economic disadvantage impact learning in their school.
- Their role in the pupil premium strategy.
- The attainment gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupil attainment will be reduced.
