Pupil Premium
At East Bergholt we aim to provide every student the opportunity to meet their potential. We hope to help students to become effective citizens as part of our school and the wider community. We believe that this involves students making good academic progress, whilst at the same time developing social and personal qualities.
For our pupil premium students our aims are to
- Improve academic outcomes for individual students who are disadvantaged
- Offer a range of opportunities to students who are disadvantaged to broaden their experiences and raise their aspirations both in school and beyond
- Offer all disadvantaged students a curriculum that is challenging yet suited to their individual needs.
- Promote the wellbeing of all students who are, or have been, disadvantaged.
- Ensure a high rate of attendance from all students who are disadvantaged.
- Ensure students who are at a disadvantage have a positive attitude to learning and avoid exclusions which will disrupt their learning.
