2014‐2015 Pupil Premium Allocation: £91,800
Our school budget allocation is used resourcefully to ensure a significant impact in learning for these eligible groups of pupils. This year we have been allocated £91,800 to narrow the attainment gap between FSM and Non FSM pupils. Victoria Lane Academy has allocated this funding to:
- Employ additional teaching assistants for 0.7 in KS2 and 0.8 in EYFS to support intervention and one to one tuition programmes.
- Purchase a class set of laptops to support learning.
- Purchase of specialist services and training including TTOTs, LACES and Talk Boost.
- Enhance and enrich the curriculum with visits, experiences and resources to support and engage learners.
- Provide high quality CPD and training for staff in writing, speech and language and SEN provision.
