At Eccleston Primary School, our intention is that all pupils, irrespective of their background or the challenges they face, make good progress and achieve high attainment across all subject areas, given their starting points and abilities.
The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to support our pupils to achieve that goal, including progress for all levels of attainers. The activity we have outlined in this statement is also intended to support the needs of all of our children, regardless of whether there are barriers or not, whilst closing any gaps that may exist. High-quality teaching is at the heart of our approach, with a focus on areas in which disadvantaged pupils require the most support. This is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantage attainment gap and at the same time will benefit the non-disadvantaged pupils in our school.
