St Joseph’s Catholic Junior School.
Pupil Premium Grant Expenditure
Report to Parents: 2013/14
St. Joseph’s Catholic Junior School is a two form entry school in Southwark. We are currently in soft Federation with St. Joseph’s Catholic Infants’ School.
We have high aspirations and ambitions for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We strongly believe that it is not about where you come from but your passion and thirst for knowledge, and your dedication and commitment to learning that make the difference between success and failure, and we are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential.
At St. Joseph’s we have high percentages of FSM, SEN and EAL pupils. However we see our diverse community as a strength and we are committed to ensuring that the challenges we face are mitigated so that all pupils can reach their full potential. It is essential that we identify individual barriers in order to provide personalised targeted support to ensure our children can flourish.
Pupil Premium funding represents a significant proportion of our budget and we are committed to ensuring it is spent to maximum effect.
Objective of Pupil Premium Spending
Our key objective in using the Pupil Premium Grant is to narrow the gap between pupil groups. As a school we aim to ensure that children make at least good progress, and historically our children.
Through targeted interventions we are working to eliminate barriers to learning and progress. Many children start school with low attainment on entry and our aim is to ensure that they make accelerated progress in order to reach age related
expectations + as they move through the school.
