Schools and Academies are required by OFSTED to publish information to parents on Pupil Premium specifically with regards to the following:

● An update of the impact of funding with any data from the academic year.

● Reasons and evidence for allocation of spending by identifying the main barriers; how the funding will be used to address the barriers and the reasons for those approaches. The strategy should identify the intended impact and a date for a review of the school’s strategy.

  At Silver End Academy we believe that Pupil Progress and Attainment is not limited to a  

  child’s background and we aim to improve the life chances of disadvantaged pupils by:

• The whole school striving to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils as a matter of urgency and a key school Priority.
• Ensuring equal access and opportunities including improving school attendance.
• Maximising the learning of all pupils but especially those who are more vulnerable learners/ disadvantaged in some way.
• Tackling disadvantage- this is a common thread that runs throughout the whole school
• Clearer identification systems and addressing the needs of pupils as soon as they arise
• Promoting a culture of early, focused, precise, time-limited intervention when necessary
• Ensuring the impact of intervention is reviewed in terms of its impact and adjusted to meet the needs of pupils
•  Using a structured and tiered approach to tackling underachievement:
