Pupil Premium

Our intention is that all students, irrespective of their starting points, background or the challenges they face, make good progress and achieve high attainment across the curriculum. The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to support disadvantaged students to achieve that goal, including progress for those who are already high attainers.

High-quality teaching is at the heart of our approach, with a focus on areas in which disadvantaged students require the most support. This is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantage attainment gap and at the same time will benefit the non-disadvantaged students in our school.

In addition the this we intend to use our allocated Pupil Premium funding to:

• provide a broad and balanced curriculum with clear progression routes.
• provide support and challenge to students and their families where attendance is a concern.
• address literacy gaps between disadvantaged students and their peers.
• provide students with enrichment opportunities that broaden their experiences and enables them to flourish.
• ensure that students are clear about their journey to adulthood and do not become NEET.
• provide excellent pastoral support and mentoring, enabling our students to be successful and resilient in their learning journey.

We are determined to focus our approach and the allocation of  PP funding to areas which will have the greatest impact on the progress and well-being of students at THS.
