Pupil Premium Statement

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England.

It’s designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better, and close the gap between them and their peers.

The overall objectives in spending our Pupil Premium Grant are:

To ensure personalised provision is in place for Pupil Premium students giving all students equal access to the curriculum
To ensure the best quality of teaching and learning is available day in and day out in the classroom as this has the greatest impact on the overall achievement of Pupil Premium students
To raise attainment and progress for Pupil Premium students at ASA
To narrow the attainment and progress gap between the Pupil Premium and non-Pupil Premium students, in ASA and nationally
To improve the attendance of Pupil Premium students at ASA
To provide excellent pastoral care and support for our most disadvantaged students
To provide counselling support for our most vulnerable learners
To fund extra-curricular opportunities to enhance our Pupil Premium students whole school experience
To enable targeted intervention and support for our Pupil Premium students across all year groups
