Pupil Premium Strategy
The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is a vital source of funding that plays an invaluable role in supporting the educational journey of disadvantaged children within our school community. At Wrockwardine Wood Infant School and Nursery, we are deeply committed to ensuring that every child—regardless of their background or personal circumstances—receives the support and opportunities they need to thrive both academically and personally.
Pupil Premium funding helps us to address barriers to learning, close attainment gaps, and create a more inclusive, equitable learning environment. It enables us to provide targeted interventions, access to additional resources, and tailored support that meets the unique needs of each individual child.
Through careful planning, collaboration with staff, and partnership with external agencies, we have developed a comprehensive strategy to ensure this funding is used effectively and meaningfully. Our goal is not just to improve academic outcomes, but to nurture the whole child—supporting their emotional wellbeing, confidence, and resilience.
Key Strategies Include:
Quality First Teaching (QFT)
We prioritise high-quality, inclusive teaching across the school. This includes ongoing assessment, targeted planning, and consistent monitoring of progress to ensure that all pupils—particularly those eligible for Pupil Premium—receive the best possible learning experience.
Personalised Learning and Interventions
Recognising that every child is unique, we deliver personalised support tailored to individual needs. This may include one-to-one tuition, small group work, or mentoring programmes designed to boost self-confidence, develop skills, and accelerate academic progress.
Enrichment Opportunities
We believe in the power of learning beyond the classroom. Pupil Premium funding allows us to offer educational visits, extracurricular activities, and cultural experiences that broaden pupils’ horizons, build social skills, and inspire a love of learning.
Family Engagement
We understand the importance of strong home-school partnerships. To support families, we offer workshops, parent forums, and access to local resources—empowering parents to actively engage in their child’s education and development.
Wellbeing and Pastoral Support
A child’s emotional and mental wellbeing is crucial to their ability to learn. Our nurturing environment is supported by access to pastoral care, counselling, and wellbeing initiatives that build resilience, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging.
Targeted Resources
We invest in tools and resources that make a real difference—from learning materials and technology to additional staffing support. Whether it’s providing laptops for homework or classroom resources for intervention work, we ensure that all children have the tools they need to succeed.
Making a Lasting Impact
The impact of Pupil Premium funding goes far beyond academic progress. By supporting the whole child, we help build the foundation for a confident, capable, and resilient individual—equipped to flourish in school and in life.
As we continue working towards our vision of educational excellence and equality, we remain grateful for your ongoing support. Together, we can ensure that every child in our care has the opportunity to reach their full potential and enjoy a bright, successful future.
