Pupil Premium Grant 2019-2020
In April 2011 the Government introduced Pupil Premium, funding which is additional to main school funding.
The purpose of the Pupil Premium is that it is deployed by schools to narrow the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. Pupils included are; those from low income families, children adopted and in care and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.
Schools are able to spend the funding as they see fit based upon their knowledge of pupil needs. In addition to the core curriculum a school offers, each pupil eligible for Pupil Premium funding may receive specific interventions, designed to provide opportunities and support based on individual needs and circumstances.
Detailed analysis of need and regular tracking of progress is essential to ensure potential barriers are overcome and expected levels of progress made.
Endeavour Academy receives money from the Government's Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) stream. We receive this allocation for pupils across the full ability range.
This money is given to the Academy to be used in ways that we consider will have the most impact on our pupils. Except for our pupils who are in care, this money is not linked to any individual child.
We use this PPG funding to provide support, not only for those pupils designated as PP pupils, but for all of our pupils and who will benefit from additional support. Our key objectives for PPG are:
- To improve the outcomes for Pupil Premium pupils to bring their attainment in line with expected levels of progress
- To close the attainment gap between pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium and their peers
- To improve attendance and punctuality
- To improve aspiration and give curriculum and enrichment activities and opportunities
- To provide careers information, advice and guidance for our pupils

Conclusion
Endeavour Academy uses the pupil premium grant to ensure that those pupils entitled to Pupil Premium make progress. In particular it is used to support any individual targets on their education and health care plan and to provide extra support to narrow gaps in attainment and progress. These gaps often occur as a result of absence in education (prior to starting at Endeavour Academy), additional learning and SEMH needs. We also use pupil premium grant to increase cultural capital opportunities. Analysis of the data has enabled us to broaden the curriculum and the use of interventions for pupils in receipt of PPG to include literacy targeted intervention, numeracy targeted intervention, SALT and therapeutic support for the academic year 2019-20. The data evidences that we have closed the gap in attainment/progress between PPG and non-PPG pupils, in the number of GCSEs attained, all literacy qualifications and Level 1 Maths qualifications. The area to focus on in the next academic year is the gap in attainment at Level2 Maths and English/Maths GCSE 4-9.
