Strategy Statement
Priorities
- Disadvantaged attainment gap
- Disadvantaged gap on entry into school
- Embedding strong attachments with students and families
- Boys
Strategy
- Build upon what we know works. For example, we have a strong team of 1:1 tutors and an outstanding pastoral team who have excellent relationships with families. Increasing capacity in these areas makes logical sense.
- We run a successful Saturday school which last year made a marked increase in student progress. Again, we are expanding this program.
- Take the opportunity to give Heads of Departments a chance to be innovative in their approach to closing gaps and engagement
- Look at further research and implementation into supporting boys in the classroom as part of our long-term strategy in this area.
Aims
- To reduce the attainment gap in Y9, Y10, Y11 between disadvantaged pupils and their peers
- To reduce the number of students in Y7 and 8 who have a reading age significantly below their chronological age
- To increase the progress and attainment of boys across the whole school
- To support the mental health of disadvantaged students and re-build/cement strong attachments with families
