Mission
At St Nicholas CofE our vision and motto, is caring and preparing for a confident future. This is at the core of everything that we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
Here at St Nicholas we have three school values which underpin everything that we work to achieve.
Respect. We respect all learners’ beliefs and different needs and work to meet these.
Responsibly. We ensure that all members of the school take pride in their work and know what they need to do in order to move the learning on for all members of the school community.
Integrity. We work to ensure that all members of the school community are honest and build strong moral principles.
Understanding barriers
At St Nicholas CofE Primary school we understand that challenging socio-economic circumstances can create additional barriers that may hinder children in their learning. However, we believe that these barriers can be overcome. In order to overcome these barriers we believe that excellent teachers can inspire and move all childrens learning forwards. Through the use of professional development, sharing outstanding practise and collaboration with other teachers our teachers continue to grow and help children overcome their own barriers to learning. We believe that all children need to have opportunity to take part in a variety of different experiences.
Through the use of excellent classroom teaching, children that are in receipt of pupil premium, have access to a high quality education and allow them to achieve the best possible outcomes based on their individual starting points.
To meet the different needs of all children, we have identified a range of different barriers to learning.
Strategy
At St Nicholas CofE Primary we will work to tackle barriers by:-
Accountability
The progress and outcomes of pupils who receive pupil premium funding is closely monitored and tracked to ensure that the school is working to close the gap between these pupils and all other pupils.
The Assistant Headteacher and leadership team will regularly and rigorously monitor, evaluate and review the strategies that are put into place and report to the governing body about the impact of spending, the progress of pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium and their outcomes.
As part of our commitment to ensure impact we undertake regular monitoring on all levels as set out below: -
The governing body in turn, will use a variety of systems and processes (including, where necessary, external review) to review the reports and to hold the school to account.
The Pupil Premium provision is reviewed annually in the Autumn Term and monitored termly thereafter. The data and the development plan are also reviewed termly.
