We will continue to offer schools support related to outcomes for disadvantaged pupils, via our Disadvantaged Champion support offer, in 2023 to 2024 free of charge. This is available to those already involved and for new schools/champions to sign up. In order to receive this support please complete the Summary Reflection Tool by Friday 29 September 2023. The full version can be found below for those that would prefer to submit the more comprehensive version. This tool is helpful for completion of the Pupil Premium Strategy Statement and for reporting to governors.
