Pupil Premium
At Darlinghurst we promote: inclusive culture, foster empowerment, raise the attainment of all of our children no matter their prior attainment, support emotional, health and wellbeing. Our academy priorities drive our approach to supporting the needs of all children, including our disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.
|
Academy priority 1 |
Attending and achieving well All children receive rapid response and intervention as need is identified, ensuring that they attend and progress well to their next stage - with the academic and emotional resilience to further succeed. |
|
Academy Priority 2 |
Ambition for all The highly ambitious, coherently planned, curriculum provides rich experiences, ensuring that all children deeply engage with sustained thinking and children with SEND achieve their best possible outcomes. |
Premium funding (informed by
evidence-based approaches from the EEF and proven approaches for similar
schools and our own successes) will be used to provide activities to: support
the quality of teaching, provide targeted academic support and deal with
non-academic barriers We will support the quality of teaching through the
provision of PD, provide targeted academic support within year groups
(provision map) and deal with non-academic barriers that disadvantaged children
face such as attendance, wellbeing and relationship building. We intend
implementing a 3-year approach that will be responsive to common challenges and
individual needs, rooted in robust diagnostic assessment and not assumptions
about the impact of disadvantage. Like
the pupil premium, we will spend the recovery premium on a wider cohort of
pupils than those who attract the funding and direct recovery premium spending
where we think the need is greatest. The academy will use Pupil Premium and
Recovery Premium funding together to support our children to make progress,
increase attainment outcomes and narrow the gap between PP and Non-PP. The academy will review and evaluate the
impact of expenditure for provision at termly intervals throughout the academic
year, measuring progress against the success criteria. Where available,
internal and external data and information will be used to evaluate progress.
We will show how we are using the recovery premium effectively by reporting on
o 
ur use of
recovery premium as part of our pupil premium strategy statement. As with all
government funding, Darlinghurst Academy must be able to account for how this
money is being used to achieve our central goal of improving the attainment of
our disadvantaged. This policy is in place to ensure funding is allocated and
spent appropriately with accountability of educational performance, including
scrutiny by governors and trustees. Academy leaders with responsibility for the
plan work with key stakeholders and line managers. The Principal and Vice
Principal are accountable through direct line management and to the governing
Body, with regular reports and updates to the governing body.
