Pupil Premium Statement
Reevy Hill Primary School is fully committed to ensuring that all pupils, regardless of economic status, are provided with equal educational opportunities and support to ensure expected or above progress is made.
The targeted and strategic use of Pupil Premium will support us in achieving our vision. We will do this via the following:
- Ensuring that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of the pupils providing them with an excellent education
- Where expected progress is not being made, making available a range of appropriate interventions to close progress gaps
- Ensuring that any clubs offered before or after school are not exclusive due to related costs and can be attended and taken up by any child.
- Offering a number of enrichment and engaging activities to raise aspiration and foster a positive attitude towards learning
- Ensuring that uniform/equipment is available to those in need
- Allocating Pupil Premium funding following a needs analysis
Identified key barriers our disadvantaged children face
- Living in the lowest 30% of council wards across Bradford (Royds) meaning out of school environments/situations are challenging for children impacting on readiness to learn when in school.
- Adverse Childhood Experiences including Social, emotional and mental health needs that impact on learning and development
- Lower attendance and poorer punctuality rates than their peers reducing learning time.
- Poorer standards of oracy in early stages of development; particularly with regard to speech, language and social skills that impact their future years.
- Poorer diets due to family income and limited resources/income at home/outside of school impacting on readiness to learn and attendance.
- Limited engagement of some parents/carers in children’s learning and the wider academy life and opportunities on offer
- Less opportunities outside of school for enrichment activities such as trips and music tuition
- Incorrect equipment or a lack of equipment and/or uniform that promotes a feeling of being disadvantaged
- Historical gaps in learning that require addressing so children can access the curriculum and achieve as well as their peers
