As a school, we have responsibility to use this funding to ‘narrow the gap’ for this specific cohort of learners. We have utilised the DfE Nov 2021 strategy guidance and this was approved by our Governing Board. Our Challenge Partners Peer Review confirmed our monitoring and impact measures for the strategy implementation. Our Ofsted Inspection in March 2023 confirmed our on-going commitment to ensuring all learners are progressing with challenging targets. Both external evaluations confirmed that learners who are eligible for Pupil Premium are not underachieving in comparison with their peers. This is due to our commitment to personalised learning around the holistic needs of the individual. #### Which gap are we narrowing? Swiss Cottage School, Development and Research Centre wants to ensure the gap being narrowed is supporting learners in meeting the aspirational aims identified in the Education Health and Care Plans/Statement for each learner. The aspirational goals are identified in each learners ‘Personal Learning Intention Map’ and are working towards narrowing gaps in the areas of: - Communication and interaction resources - Outdoor learning resources and opportunities to bridge gaps in community access through the pandemic - Whole school targeted literacy offer - Meaningful exposure to learning in the community within the school provision through on-site specialist workshops and residencies #### Monitoring progress: 1. The termly targets were evaluated each term specifically for the pupil premium cohort. 2. Multi-agency fortnightly monitoring ensured early intervention/support for pastoral factors (attendance, health). 3. The termly report was interrogated by the Governors Pupil Progress and Wellbeing (PWB) Committee through data analysis and case studies. 4. The report confirmed pupils qualifying for Pupil Premium funding made expected progress and accessed enrichment programmes to challenge the disadvantage gap. 5. Through the Finance, Personnel, and Premises Committee the financial regulations were confirmed as met. 6. Through External Evaluation and Peer Evaluation (Challenge Partners Quality Assurance Review June 2024) we confirmed our Pupil Premium provision and strategic plan. ![](https://www.swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/images/images/PP_Updated_14.11.23.png) ### Our School -
