Our Vision – At Burlish Park Primary School we strive to:

• provide opportunities for all of our students to engage in their learning and to acquire the skills and knowledge they need for future success

• use the Pupil Premium funding imaginatively and effectively to ensure that economic disadvantage for some students is not a barrier to success

• work with parents/carers throughout the year to make sure that all eligible students have been identified

• create and maintain a high profile of disadvantaged pupils amongst staff as a key accountability group

• work with teachers, Teaching Assistants, parents/carers and trustees to ensure that all eligible students make expected or better than expected progress through high quality teaching and meaningful feedback

• track the progress of disadvantaged pupils regularly, identify any barriers to learning and adjust provision where required

• seek best practice and research regarding the Pupil Premium spend to ensure the best student outcomes;

• improve the range and quality of the overall learning experience for disadvantaged pupils, including enrichment opportunities

Our Pupil Premium grant is £84,465, this includes £7,105 recovery premium funding.
