At All Saints CE Primary School, we are committed to promoting equity for all pupils to ensure that each pupil is able to reach their fullest potential in all areas of their lives. This is firmly rooted in our school vision and commitment to Live Life in its Fullest.

When making decisions about Pupil Premium, it is important to consider the context of our school and our pupils together with the challenges faced. We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.

This includes:

• Pupils receiving Free School Meals (FSM),
• Pupils eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG),
• Children in Care (CiC) / Looked After Children (LAC) / Previously Looked After Children (PLAC),
• Pupils in families with social worker involvement,
• Pupils in families with Early Help services involvement,
• Children with English as an Additional Language (EAL),
• Pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs 

We strongly believe that if our pupils feel safe and happy then they are in the best position to fulfil their potential by having a strong attendance, embracing the rich offer of experiences at our school and developing a commitment and love towards learning.  Our use of the PP funding ensures this is possible,

Our pupils’ needs drive our strategy. Equity for all pupils is at the heart of our strategy. We also understand that this strategy is a process, not an event and it affects every individual differently. Our intention is that our strategy will also benefit the non-disadvantaged pupils alongside their disadvantaged peers. Our aim is that every pupil, irrespective of background, feels like they belong and that they are ready to learn and achieve their full potential. We strive to support our pupils to become confident, articulate and ambitious individuals.

At All Saints, we believe that together with excellent pastoral care, high quality, inclusive teaching and learning is the best way to tackle disadvantage. We recognise that supporting our staff to develop their professional practice will continue to be fundamental to our addressing all areas of disadvantage.

Our staff deployment through targeted intervention both within and beyond the school day seek to identify and address specific areas of learning for both individual pupils and identified groups. We also remain committed to ensuring that our emotional support for pupils continues to offer meaningful support to those who need it. Our whole school approach towards disadvantaged pupils’ outcomes includes but is not limited to those in receipt of the Pupil Premium Grant and we work together with pupils and their families to raise expectations of what each and every child can achieve.
