Pupil Premium
Rationale & Objectives
Following successful progress and outcomes for our children in receipt of Pupil Premium funding in 2017/18, the school will continue to plan carefully in order to help children in receipt of Pupil Premium funding to try to overcome their particular barriers to learning. Amongst many Pupil Premium children nationally, barriers to learning include challenging home life, poor literacy levels, low aspirations, low expectations and narrow experience of life outside school.
Pupil Premium money at Stanford Junior & Infant School will be spent to improve:
- academic achievement, including for children with DSEN
- pastoral support
- participation in cultural and sporting activities
Focusing on these areas is designed to:
- help children look forward to their time in school with enthusiasm
- raise the attainment of Pupil Premium children
- close the gap between Pupil Premium children and others in the school
- close the gap between the school’s Pupil Premium children and all pupils nationally
- accelerate progress by all Pupil Premium children
- improve behaviour in certain children
- increase the range of opportunities and experiences for Pupil Premium children
Implementation of this will be done by:
- providing high quality teaching and learning experiences for all children to overcome educational disadvantage and deprivation
- targeted academic and pastoral intervention and support
- providing an exciting curriculum with a wide range of engaging, quality learning and nurturing activities to broaden their knowledge and familiarity of the world around them
- providing a wide range of free / subsidized extra-curricular activities to broaden children’s learning experiences and to foster and develop each child’s interests and talents

HAF Project Summer 2022
During the Summer, Stanford School offered a week long holiday club (HAF) to engage pupils through a variety of activities. Throughout the week pupils took part in a wide range of learning opportunities including Steel pan Drums, Dancing, Soap Making, Sports activities, Cooking and we even had Nunny's Farm come and visit with their animals! A fantastic time was had by all pupils who thoroughly enjoyed the different learning opportunities!
