The progress and attainment of Pupil Premium across the Academic Year 2016/17 was Outstanding.
Pupil Premium Strategy for 2017/18
Harris Academy Morden is expecting to receive approximately £275,825 for this Academic year for the 295 PP students (43.4%)
The strategies we intend to employ are focused on the academic performance and the pastoral well-being of the child.
At the Academy, we have several barriers that must be overcome. Not all barriers are the same for each child but the barriers listed are the ones we feel many PP students face:
- Poor Primary Education standards in literacy , numeracy that hinder a child all-round education
- Attendance
- Poor attitude to school life and education
- Understanding what good learning routines are
- Lack of food
- Access to IT
- Aspiration
- A desire to do well (with family support) but a lack of knowledge in how to achieve success.
We have developed our PP strategy to overcome these barriers over time to ensure students can progress and be successful students. The outcomes data clearly demonstrate the strategies employed are effective.
In addition to the planned expenditure below, we feel the smaller classes in English and Maths in particular continue to be one of the best resources to improve performance overtime of all groups of students.
