Principles

  • We will ensure that the PPG is used effectively to improve outcomes for disadvantaged children
  • We will consider closely the barrier to learning that disadvantaged children in St Albert’s face.
  • We will ensure that approaches used are evidenced based and adequately monitored.
  • In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged. We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals.
