Pupil Premium Grant

In line with the rationale for the PPG set out by the Department for Education, Samuel Ward Academy aims to support our disadvantaged students through targeted intervention and whole school initiatives both academic and pastoral. We believe that all pupils should leave Samuel Ward Academy as successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

We will regularly seek to further develop strategies and interventions which can improve the progress and attainment of these students. Examples of the range of provision we may put in place include:

  • Funding support for enrichment trips and opportunities
  • Priority support for careers guidance
  • Focused tuition in English and Maths
  • Individualised support programmes for students, where required
  • Increasing the pool of student resources (textbooks, revision guides, online support)
  • Priority support for mentoring programmes
  • Funding towards music lessons for students studying GCSE music
