Pupil Premium
We are:
Aspirational and Determined
The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England. It is designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better, and close the gap between them and their peers.
Cavendish uses Pupil Premium to support our pupils for the next stage in their life. This means that we support them academically, to achieve the best that they possibly can, it also means that we encourage aspiration and determination. We achieve this by offering an 'Aspiration Club' where experiences outside school such as University visits and community visits are made available. Our Learning Mentor is also on hand to support our pupils emotionally. This ensures our pupils are not simply targeted academically, but that they are able to succeed at anything they put their mind to.
Our Sports Premium plan and our Pupil Premium plan are reviewed at the end of the Summer term and a new one is implemented in September of each academic year.
How do we support our Pupil Premium Children?
We offer our pupils as much support as they need to succeed academically. This includes interventions, consolidation of previous lessons, one to one support as well as support before school if required. We track our Pupil Premium children termly to make sure that they are getting the best possible start in life academically.
We also believe that our children should receive as many experiences and opportunities as possible so that they have a broad understanding of our multicultural society and to test themselves on what they enjoy doing and who they want to be as they grow up. These experiences include (but there are many more!):
Trampolining
Gymnastics
Theatre visits
Visits to Grimm and Co, for inspirational writing
Author visits
Discovering the local area
Flute lessons
Ukulele Lessons
Further opportunity to play an instrument of their choice
Subsidised trips to London, Lea Green, Space Centre etc...
We also pride ourselves in supporting families individually. If a family is in need, we will be here to support emotionally, financially and socially. Cavendish is an open door to the community.
