It’s Not About Ability: How to Use the Pupil Premium to Ensure a Child’s Birth Doesn’t Become Their Destiny

In this session, Pupil Premium expert, Matt Bromley, will explore:

• Why disadvantaged students do less well at school and in later life
• What the Pupil Premium is for, how it can be used, and if it works (and if not, why not)
• Shifting the focus from a label-led approach to a learner-led approach by converting the causes of disadvantage into tangible classroom consequences
• The importance of inclusion belonging: the push and pull factors of school
• Making a success of the 3-wave approach: quality first teaching; in-class adaptations; additional interventions
• Articulating your impact in the Pupil Premium strategy
