The genesis for this book, and the strategy within it, is a
longstanding commitment from Essex County Council to improve the
life chances and life choices of disadvantaged pupils being
educated in Essex. The purpose of the book is to set out a
strategic, evidence-informed approach with pupils, families,
teachers, leaders, system leaders and wider agencies which puts
learners first. This approach is rooted in best practice. It
centres on improving the day to day learning experiences of
disadvantaged pupils, leading to better long term choice and
opportunity. Unity Research School and Essex County Council hope it
will support efforts to address the impact of socio-economic
disadvantage on learning in schools and colleges nationally.
If we are to improve outcomes, one of the things we need to do is
move away from the notion of 'labelling' children and their
families. Rather, we need to focus on the needs of such pupils,
never forgetting their greatest need is relentlessly high
expectations and great teaching. As fragmentation of LAs continues,
the need for authoritative, evidence-based guidance and signposting
has grown. This book does not provide an exhaustive list of all the
challenges that might arise, but it has a good go. Including
chapters by Simon Knight; Loic Menzies; Bernard Trafford; Jarlath
O'Brien; Mary Myatt; David Bartram; David Weston - and many others.
Fully updated with the 2015 policy updates from the Department for
Education and published in partnership with the National Education
Trust, this book provides essential information and advice to help
schools make best use of the Pupil Premium grant and improve
outcomes for disadvantaged learners. The author is a recognised
national expert on the Pupil Premium. He has visited more than 200
schools and has spoken with over 1000 school leaders and here he
shares examples of innovation and excellence in their use of the
additional funding. Featuring a foreword by Sir John Dunford, DfE
Pupil Premium Champion.
