The Pupil Premium can be a great source of anxiety. While dealing with the most vulnerable and underachieving pupils, primary schools must produce and evidence good results.
Furthermore, the funding for Pupil Premium is a big commitment by government and now schools have to deliver. This was the message from Dr John Dunford, the national Pupil Premium champion, who was speaking in his keynote address at the Pupil Premium and Ofsted – Ensuring Successful Outcomes Conference. He emphasised to delegates: “You have complete autonomy on how you spend this money but you are accountable.”
The conference, held at Maple House in Birmingham in March, was organised by Headteacher Update and sister magazine SecEd and set out to help schools develop a more strategic approach to the Pupil Premium and get an insight into initiatives and examples of good practice from other schools.
