Pupil Premium Grant Allocation (PPG) for 2020/2021 is £10,620
The staff and Governors have targeted the PPG to:
- Provide small group work and 1-1 work with an experienced TA – leaders and teachers use data to identify learning needs, addressing any under performance swiftly. Every action and or intervention is driven by the robust review of data. They seek the best practice to respond to any emerging needs. Elvington Church of England Primary School is outwardly seeking best practice and therefore practitioners are becoming more involved in action research initiatives, networks and working in collaboration with other schools in order to pursue or champion best practice.
- Potential financial support with educational visits.
- Additional Teaching Assistant hours. Leaders and teachers at Elvington identify each pupil’s challenges and interests. They seek the best strategies to help each pupil make the next step in their leaning. We provide individual support for specific learning needs and group support for pupils with similar needs.

- Despite the challenging barriers that some of our children face, a ceiling of achievement will not be placed. It is our job to ensure that gaps are closed and all children reach their full potential.
For all pupils receiving pupil premium – focused, in class targeted Teacher and TA interventions to; improve attainment, support emotionally and socially and/or improve behaviour.
