At Ixworth CE Primary School, we are dedicated to ensuring every pupil has the opportunity to excel. The Pupil Premium is additional government funding aimed at supporting pupils who may face extra challenges in their learning journey. This funding enables us to provide tailored support and resources that help close attainment gaps and raise educational outcomes.

Our Pupil Premium strategy is carefully designed to address the specific needs of our disadvantaged pupils through a balanced approach across three key areas:

Teaching
We prioritise excellent teaching as the foundation for all learning. This includes ongoing professional development for staff, evidence-based teaching methods and targeted classroom support to ensure every pupil benefits from outstanding instruction.

Targeted Academic Support
We offer focused interventions, small group work and one-to-one support to help pupils overcome barriers to learning. This targeted academic assistance ensures that pupils receive the help they need to progress confidently in their studies.

Wider Strategies
We recognise that factors beyond the classroom can impact learning. Our strategy includes pastoral care, social and emotional support and access to enriching extracurricular activities. These efforts help create a nurturing environment where pupils feel valued and motivated.

By investing thoughtfully in these areas, we strive to create a school community where all pupils can thrive and truly 'soar on wings like eagles.' (Isaiah 40:31).
