The aim of the Pupil Premium funding is to support narrowing the gap between disadvantaged pupils, and their non-disadvantaged peers. The plan addresses the additional challenges which are potentially faced by disadvantaged young people, and how this has an impact on their learning, both academically, socially, and emotionally.
School leaders in school assess disadvantaged pupil need and deploy funding which is then used to improve pupil progress in all aspects of their school journey. At the heart of our Pupil Premium strategy is highly effective, quality first teaching. The Rose School uses funding in three specific areas, which include teaching and learning, targeted support identified through robust diagnostic and summative assessment, and wider school approaches which consider the social, emotional, and cultural capital needs of the disadvantaged pupils at The Rose.
The Pupil Premium strategy gives pupils a range of experiences which will support them in adult life. For example, supporting disadvantaged pupils to develop the skills they need to contribute meaningfully to the community, live an independent life, develop social skills, and continue to ensure that high-quality work experience and careers guidance is provided.
