Pupil Premium
Due to the school closure for a large part of the academic year 2019.2020 the Academy is unable to provide a full review on the PP strategy for last year.
However the KS4 progress score based on the DfE estimate and centre assessed grades is +0.79 for PP. This is in line with outcomes for previous years

Summary
The Academy has been very successful in developing the outcomes for Pupil Premium Students and the above strategies are clearly delivering.
The progress and attainment of Pupil Premium across the Academic Year 2018/19 was Outstanding in all areas other than Higher PP in Year 10. Further work will be completed with Higher PP when they enter Year 11 to ensure this group achieves the figures we expect them to achieve in the GCSE examinations.

Pupil Premium Strategy for 2019/20
Harris Academy Morden is expecting to receive approximately £319458.33 for the 43% of Pupil Premium Students
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.

In addition to this we have invested in a Careers lead to co-ordinate all Careers education within the Academy and lead the Careers Academy. This will focus on delivering the careers package for Yr 8-11 with particular focus on PP students accessing careers support from a young age. We want to inspire students at a younger age to engage with education and see this as the vehicle to access careers of their choice in the future. |
