We view the needs of all our children as important and ensure that our teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of them. A ‘quality first’ approach to teaching and learning seeks to maximise outcomes for all pupils, hence the Pupil Premium funding ensures that any gaps in academic attainment are minimised, allowing all pupils to excel, regardless of their social or economic backgrounds. Alongside top-quality teaching and learning, this is achieved predominantly by minimising barriers to learning and providing opportunities for personal enrichment and/or the development of personal capital.
