Pupil Premium

At Ashlands Church of England Primary, we have committed to providing an exceptional and inclusive educational environment where every child thrives, regardless of their socioeconomic context.  We believe that with the right academic and emotional support, all pupils can reach their potential and become positive contributors to the wider community.  We live this belief through our vision, Love of Learning, Love of Life and Love of One Another.

We aim to ensure that through our whole school approach, we identify the needs of all our pupils and respond with a range of strategies, and the belief that we will find a way forwards for every child.  The targeted and strategic use of Pupil Premium funding will support us in achieving our aims.          

Our Aims

Empowering Diverse Experiences: We are dedicated to providing pupils with a rich tapestry of opportunities and experiences that foster curiosity and broaden their knowledge of the world. Through engaging activities and immersive learning, we ignite a passion for lifelong learning and personal growth. 

Closing the Attainment Gap: Narrowing the attainment gap is at the heart of our vision. We are resolute in our efforts to ensure that pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium funding achieve accelerated progress, achieving on par with their peers. Targeted interventions and personalised support enable us to create a level playing field for every child. 

Building Confident and Fluent Readers: Literacy is the foundation of a successful education. Our committed faculty works tirelessly to support all pupils in becoming not just fluent readers but also confident and critical thinkers. Strong comprehension skills empower them to explore the world through the power of words. 

Fostering Avid Readers and Empowered Communicators: We strive to nurture a love for reading, making books a window to limitless opportunities. By expanding their vocabulary and nurturing effective communication skills, we empower our pupils to express themselves with clarity and eloquence. 

Promoting Mental Health and Well-being: We recognize the importance of emotional well-being. Our comprehensive approach to mental health education equips pupils with strategies to maintain good mental health, fostering resilience and self-assurance. 

Collaborating with Parents as Partners: We value the partnership between our school and parents. By fostering open communication and collaborative relationships, we work together to support our pupils’ growth and address any challenges they may face, ensuring a united support system for every child.
