Pupil Premium allocation at St. John's.
Our key aim in using the Pupil Premium Grant is to close the gap between pupil groups. As a school we have an excellent track record of ensuring that pupils make good or better progress and our performance data shows that pupils in receipt of the grant achieve equally well. Through targeted spending we are determined to make sure that all groups of pupils perform equally and consistently well. For children who start school with skill development lower than that expected for their age, our aim is to ensure that they catch up urgently in order to reach at least the required expectations for their age. Our aspirations is for pupils eligible for the PPG to achieve the high/greater depth standard in their learning.
