Focusing minds

• • • Effective use of pupil premium is at the core of the moral purpose of school leadership.

Nationally outcomes for disadvantaged pupils are improving since the pupil premium was introduced. Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw credits this, in part, to Ofsted inspections placing a stronger emphasis on the issue.

“If schools are just using it to tarmac the playground and fix the school roof then that is not good use of the money .”

Sir John Dunford’s 5 questions governors need to ask

1. Do we know where the attainment gaps are in our school?

2. Do we all know who our Pupil Premium pupils are? 3. Have we accessed the evidence of what works to accelerate disadvantaged pupil progress? 4. How are we planning and targeting our activities for Pupil Premium pupils? 5. How do we know our activities are having an impact? What evidence are we gathering to share with Ofsted?

The opportunity

• Don’t wait for politicians to tell you what to do • The government isn’t telling schools how to close the gap • It’s for schools to decide how to use PP • Stop looking up and start looking out 9
