Pupil Premium at Broughton Community Schools

We have high aspirations and ambitions for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We strongly believe that it is not about where you come from but your passion and thirst for knowledge, your dedication and commitment to learning and your experiences and enrichment that impact on your development. We are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential.

Our Approach

Money has been ring-fenced and used to benefit all pupil premium pupils. We have established clear lines of responsibility with a specific staff member being appointed our pupil premium champion and a link governor taking responsibility for Pupil Premium.

At Broughton our funding is a significant amount across the two schools and we have planned our spending carefully to ensure that it has been spent to maximum effect. This has meant making informed decisions about our spending such as:

• Ensuring that spending is directly linked to gaps in attainment;
• Making use of our own data to expand existing interventions;
• Making sure there is at least good teaching in a day to day basis;
• Making use of research when evaluating interventions and considering the implementation of new interventions.

All staff are aware of areas for development in the school in terms of subjects, year groups and they know which children are focus children. Money is used to benefit all pupil premium children and supports higher as well as lower ability children by extending provision on offer. We have revised our assessment and monitoring systems to support improvement in the quality of teaching and interventions in order to maximise impact.
