3) Supporting behavioural, social and emotional problems.
4) Identifying and helping families to access agencies outside school which can provide support.

Aspirations of our Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) Spending:
We will be actively working:
· To ensure all disadvantaged children make substantial progress
· To ensure that Pupil Premium children are not disadvantaged in any way with relation to educational activities
· To ensure Pupil Premium children’s attendance is in line with their peers
· To ensure that Pupil Premium children have no external barriers to learning (relating to home/family circumstances)
· To ensure Pupil Premium children have appropriate social and emotional development for their age
Impact of Pupil Premium Funding
Impact is measured through regular discussion with targeted pupils, through pupil progress meetings in school and through teacher assessment. Provision may not always have an immediate impact but should be evident when measured over time.
The barriers we are trying to overcome through our use of Pupil Premium:
· Barriers due to SEND
· Barriers which children have due to Family Support Needs
· Barriers due to low self-esteem and confidence.
· Barriers to learning resulting from behaviour
· Financial barriers which may prevent some children from accessing enriching experiences.
