What is Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools to support disadvantaged pupils. Baynards Primary School receives additional funding for cared for children and for every pupil who has received free school meals over the past 6 years. Please follow the link below to find out more about this funding.

In line with our vision and values, Baynards Primary School aims to ensure the effectiveness of its use of the Pupil Premium. As a result, we have based our spending priorities on high quality research such as the EEF Toolkit. The Sutton Trust-EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit is an accessible summary of educational research which provides guidance for teachers and schools on how to use their resources to improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils. You can find out more about this by downloading the Education Endowment Foundation toolkit below.

Pupil Premium at Baynards Primary School
At Baynards Primary School, we pride ourselves on encouraging every child to be The Best They Can and support children to become independent learners. We want children to feel safe, secure and ready to learn. All children are encouraged to:
· Act kindly and respect others
· Reach high standards both academically and socially
· Achieve their full potential
· Become well rounded, independent members of society
We believe that no matter your background or potential disadvantage, you must strive to be the best you can and we are committed to improving the outcomes for all children at Baynards Primary School.
Our Approach
Money has been allocated to benefit all pupil premium pupils. We have established clear lines of responsibility with a member of the Senior Leadership Team and a link Governor taking full responsibility for Pupil Premium. At Baynards Primary school we have a high percentage of pupil premium children which has had a significant impact on our budget. We have planned our spending carefully to ensure maximum impact. We have made informed decisions to ensure that:
· spending is directly linked to gaps in attainment;
· we make use of our own data to expand existing interventions;
· we make sure there is at least good teaching on a day to day basis;
· we make use of research when evaluating interventions and considering the implementation of new interventions.
Money is used to benefit all pupil premium children and supports higher as well as lower ability children.
