Castle View School aims for academic excellence through high aspirations and strong partnerships between pupils, parents, and staff. We strive to develop well-rounded, confident individuals who positively impact their community and society, ensuring disadvantage is never a barrier. Pupil Premium funds are used to support this goal.
Pupil Premium is funding the school receives for each student who is currently or has previously been in receipt of Free School Meals, or who has been a ‘looked-after child’ (LAC). If you feel that your child is eligible for the Pupil Premium funding but don't currently claim for Free School Meals, please click on the below link;
Pupil Premium at Castle View School summary
At Castle View School, we aim to raise the aspirations of all of our disadvantaged pupils and build lives for the future. We achieve this through addressing inequalities and raising the attainment of all students, including the disadvantaged. Progress of all disadvantaged pupils is reviewed by the leadership team, directors of learning and other middle leaders in our drive to achieve equality for all.
We believe that the highest possible standards can only be achieved by having the highest expectations of all learners. Some pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds require additional support; therefore, we will use all the resources available to help them reach their full potential, including the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG). The school’s PPG strategy is based on the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) tiered approach. This focuses on our strategy shown below in 3 areas:-
- Teaching and learning
- Academic targeted support
- Wider strategies
The 6 challenges that the school’s 2025/26 PPG strategy aim to address are: -
- Progress/Outcomes
- Attendance
- Literacy/Reading
- Attitude to Learning
- Opportunities Beyond the Classroom
- Parental Engagement
