2013 Pupil Premium Awards Showcase Film

We use Pupil Premium to ensure... ...our experiences and achievements at school... ...don’t depend on what our parents or carers earn We use our Pupil Premium funding to support all of our vulnerable families by providing parent support and support for children when they start school. Pupil Premium means I get to do ukulele. By having smaller size classes in Maths I get more time with my teacher so they can help me. This also improves my confidence and my levels. What was really interesting about judging the awards was that we decided to look innovative, bold and effective interventions and activities and what we saw from across the country was schools doing really exciting and interesting activities that we can share with other schools and we can all learn from. Pupil Premium means we get to do Drama. I used to get really angry at everything and I used to get sent home every day, but when I start going with Vicky it really helped me and now I have not really got into trouble and I never get angry again. Radio station... we're the only school that has one in the whole of Yorkshire and Humber. Pupil Premium allows us to provide extra one to one support, weekend and holiday revision classes, additional enrichment opportunities or awards programmes to drive success. I was particularly impressed by those applications that were evidently using research evidence underpinning the strategies that they were applying. For example, those schools that were focusing very much on the basics, on literacy and numeracy and one to one help in those areas and that were also working very directly with the young people to raise attainment.
