Pupil Premium at Orchard Vale

Pupil Premium Statement
The Staff at Orchard Vale are committed to ensuring that all children achieve their potential.
We are all aware of the research showing disadvantaged children often fall behind their peers, achieving lower grades throughout their education.
 
 
This is known as an ‘attainment gap’ and the purpose of the Pupil Premium (PP) is to ‘narrow the gap’.
 
 
As a result of the evidence, the government introduced the PP in April 2011. Pupil Premium is paid directly to schools.
