All children in our school receive Quality First Teaching which demonstrates assessment for learning and a stimulating curriculum embedded at the heart of all teaching and learning. Disadvantaged children are invited to attend breakfast sports clubs to support attendance, financial help with educational trips, enrichment clubs such as violins or ukuleles. All children are tracked as a group and individually to ensure at least good progress. Progress and attainment is discussed at staff training, pupil progress, performance management, senior leadership data analysis and Governor meetings. Talented children will be invited to aspirational visits and speakers such as visits to meet the players at Crewe Alexandra FC, creative writing workshops with local authors and story tellers, practical sessions with local artists and illustrators. Our school also maximises the links between school within the Biddulph Partnership Trust to promote talents and raise aspirations of these children.
The Department for Education (DfE) introduced a Pupil Premium funding for eligible children in April 2015. This is an exciting initiative for children whose parents/carers meet one of the following criteria:
