At The Beeches Primary School, our foremost commitment is to ensure that every child, irrespective of their background or adversities they may encounter, excels in both academic achievement and progression across all subjects. We place particular emphasis on fostering fluency in mathematics and reading, recognising these foundational skills as paramount to a well-rounded education.

Our pupil premium strategy is meticulously designed to bolster the academic success of disadvantaged pupils, with a special focus on those who are new to our school or have additional needs. We firmly believe that parental engagement plays a pivotal role in a child's educational journey, and as such, we actively seek collaboration with parents to create a supportive learning environment.

Acknowledging the unique challenges faced by vulnerable pupils in a challenging economic and social environment, we are dedicated to addressing their needs comprehensively, irrespective of their socio-economic status. Our aim is to set high expectations for all children, as we firmly believe in teaching 'to the top.'

To achieve our goals, high-quality teaching forms the core of our approach, particularly in areas where disadvantaged pupils require additional support. This not only narrows the attainment gap but also positively impacts non-disadvantaged children within our school community. Leveraging national and international research, alongside our own successes, we have set ambitious targets for Pupil Premium children, aiming for them to surpass the standards attained by their non-premium peers.

Our approach is both strategic and responsive, rooted in diagnostic assessments through Pixl, ensuring a thorough understanding of common challenges and individual needs. We reject assumptions about the impact of disadvantage without accurate assessments from teachers and the pastoral team. Our strategies are not only tailored to disadvantaged pupils but are designed to benefit all children across the board.
