We are thrilled to have achieved our Socio - economic badge. We have worked hard this year and have focused on the following :
Use pupil premium to support children's learning and development in imaginative ways, tailored to each pupil's circumstances.
Understand family circumstances and review school processes to ensure there are no institutional barriers to participation.
Support pupils who have recently arrived in the UK who may be homesick or traumatised.
Encourage pupils and staff to voice their opinions respectfully to work together
Review school policies and practice which can have an adverse impact on children living in poverty, for example cost of uniform or school trips.
Maintain high expectations of all pupils.
Consider school uniform so it is not expensive and impacts less on families with lower income.
Ensure systems and procedures for free school meals do not stigmatise children and young people.
