This document explains what the pupil premium is, how it has been spent and what effect it has had at St Augustine’s:
Pupil Premium/Catchup Funding
Main barriers to educational achievement faced by some of the children at St. Augustine’s are listed below:
- Oral language skills (CLL) of children entering Nursery and Reception are generally well below the expected level of attainment for their age
- Pupils eligible for Pupil Premium are achieving lower levels of attainment than the cohort in most year groups.
- Emotional and social well-being. Lack of emotional stability can have a negative impact on the attainment and progress of pupils
- Lack of educational stimulus outside of school
- Low aspirations for future education/careers
- Inconsistent progress of disadvantaged pupils over the past three years due to COVID-19 school closures and lack of devices/sharing devices with siblings
The date for the next review of the Pupil Premium Strategy is July 2024.
