​

The school undertakes the following activities in order to support pupils facing the challenges of poverty and deprivation:

​

• Part-fund the salary of teaching assistants to provide emotional and social literacy support.

• Part-fund the salary of teaching assistants to work with individuals and small groups of pupils to support them in the development of literacy and numeracy skills.   

​

The school’s PDG and EIG plans are regularly scrutinised by the Governing Body and the EAS and monitored by the Local Authority.
