PARK VIEW PUPIL PREMIUM 2020-21
1.0 Statement
At Park View, our underlying principle is that school should enable all young people to make progress and reach their potential. We know that good teaching, will improve the attainment of our most vulnerable students, and as a school, we invest heavily in this. Our CPL (continuous professional learning) program provides on-going training opportunities for all staff to enable them to create high quality and supportive learning environments for all groups of students.
1.1 Using the Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is an additional funding source allocated to schools specifically to support disadvantaged students. Schools have the freedom to spend this allocation in a way they think will best support raising the achievement of students who have been in receipt of free school meals (FSM) within the last six years. Additionally, Pupil Premium Plus (PP+) is for students who are or have previously been looked after children (LACs). The school receives this as additional ‘ring-fenced’ funding for these students. To be eligible for this PP+ funding. These students need to have been looked after continuously by the local authority for more than six months. The guidelines now state that Looked-after children and children adopted from care, on a special guardianship or child arrangements order are now eligible for PP+ funding (Post LAC)
Park View is proud of our diverse and inclusive culture, reflecting the school’s local community. Our strategy for use of pupil funding responds to a wide range of risk factors and recognises the importance of quality teaching and learning alongside outstanding pastoral support to raise achievement and engagement in learning. With this in mind, we adopt a multi-strand approach to secure positive outcomes for all our students including those deemed disadvantaged.
The foci around which we deploy Pupil Premium funding are:
1. Raising progress and achievement
2. Improving attendance and punctuality
3. Providing additional support and intervention for our most vulnerable students
4. Strengthening parental engagement
5. Raising aspirations – including quality careers education and work related activity
6. Building social capital and enhancing social mobility

Staff may bid for specific funding to support Pupil Premium students in their departments. These bids will be considered on merit alongside the whole school initiatives and programmes linked to our School Development Plan priorities.
The Head teacher and the senior team will ultimately decide how to best use Pupil Premium funding. However, there are several ways in which the school is held accountable for these decisions, including:
- Published school performance tables that clearly show the attainment of Disadvantaged (PP) and LAC students compared to their peers. At Park View, the usual cycle of data collection and the monitoring of the cohort’s attainment will be used to inform student progress and enable the early identification of need and impact of interventions.

Scrutiny of whether schools are using their Pupil Premium funding effectively is an integral part of the new Ofsted Common Inspection Framework (CIF). Ofsted will examine the performance of pupils in receipt of pupil premium funding to ensure that any performance gaps are closing.

3.2 How the Pupil Premium has been used at Park View School?
The DfE has stated the following:
“Schools, Head teachers and teachers will decide how to use the Pupil Premium allocation, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for individual students”.
At Park View, we have a sophisticated system to track and assess student progress and this allows us to ensure that any interventions will be tailored to the individual needs of a student. These systems of tracking are applied to all students including those in receipt of the Pupil Premium so that we can identify areas of underperformance and target intervention appropriately.
Where it is evident that despite our focus on high quality classroom teaching, those students still require further interventions, this is carefully managed using strategies that have been proven to have the greatest impact. Teachers, Heads of Department and our Pastoral team closely monitor the impact of interventions so that any progress gaps can be addressed.
Senior leaders run academic monitoring processes for all year groups following each assessment point. Students who have been highlighted as underachieving in a significant number of subjects are given extra support to ensure they have every possible chance of success through a range of interventions including individual mentoring.
