Pupil Premium 2020/21

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding given to schools to support the progress and achievement of vulnerable groups of students. Pupil premium funding is given to pupils in Years 7-11 for a number of reasons:

They have been in receipt of free school meals during the last six years
They who have been adopted or are looked after by the Local Authority
Their parents are serving in the Armed Forces

At Talbot this applies to 55% of our pupils and the total pupil premium funding for September 2020 – August 2021 is £72,335

How does Talbot use Pupil Premium?

The curriculum at Talbot is rich and varied, and personalised to meet the needs of each student. The focus on individual students ensures that barriers to learning are identified and appropriate interventions and support are put in place so that students are able to enjoy their learning and achieve.

Pupil Premium is used to close any gaps in attainment between pupils in receipt of pupil premium and others. Talbot has no attainment gap to narrow between pupils in receipt of free school meals or looked After and pupils not in receipt of free schoool meals and not looked After. This budget is therefore used broadly in the following ways

to develop communication skills
to provide nurture groups which will develop emotional resilience and improve mental health and well-being
to develop and deliver intervention stategies to support behaviour and attendance
to enable students to access sporting and cultural activities.

A key area for students’ development in Talbot is in communication. Pupil Premium is used to ensure that communication strategies are embedded and implemented throughout school in order that pupils can maximize their communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal. This includes using a range of communication strategies including Makaton, PECS and where appropriate assistive communication technology and aids.

We also use Pupil Premium to offer enrichment and extra-curricular activities which promote self-confidence, independence skills and physical and mental well-being. These include access to sport, outdoor activities and participation in performing arts. This provides essential opportunities to increase cultural capital for students and their families.

The student well-being team identify need and provide personalised support around behaviour, attendance and mental health to students and their families. They are a multi-skilled team who work in partnership with internal and external agencies.

Our aim for our students is that they become confident and resilient young people. We use pupil premium to offer nurture provision for vulnerable students in order to support them to develop resilience and to communicate and manage their emotions.
