Pupil Premium

Elthorne Park High School respects and promotes every child’s right to achieve and extend their potential.  Leadership focuses on our responsibility to foster a deep sense of aspiration, self-belief and conviction in all of our students while acting with compassion to support the range of social situations our children face. Our ethos of 'Achieving Excellence in a Learning Community' reflects our high expectations for all students to achieve academic excellence, irrespective of background or past experiences. We succeed in this by placing equal emphasis on developing students’ character, wellbeing and academic potential.

Overcoming the barriers faced by our Pupil Premium cohort is at the heart of our PP strategy. We recognise that our PP cohort faces a unique set of barriers that may disadvantage their abilities to access all of the educational opportunities that Elthorne Park High School has to offer. 

Success in our mission to eliminate these barriers is evidenced by three criteria: 

  • Narrowing the attainment gap between our disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students

  • Accelerating the progress of our disadvantaged students in comparison to our historic performance and in comparison with local and national progress indicators.

  • Ensuring full access and representation in the range of opportunities available to all at Elthorne Park High School

Through a tiered approach to our Pupil Premium spend, we aim to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve and fully participate in all areas of school life. Our strategy to achieve this aim has six key strands: 

  • curriculum access to ensure that enhanced numbers of students study a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum; 

  • quality-first teaching to ensure that every lesson is as effective as possible for all students, irrespective of starting-point or personal circumstances

  • development of reading abilities so that students can fully access their learning and develop their cultural capital; 

  • development of achievement in English and Maths so that students have the skills, knowledge and understanding to excel at Elthorne Park High School and beyond 

  • provision to support the  wellbeing of our Pupil Premium cohort;

  • participation in wider opportunities including extra-curricular activities
