Supporting every student to succeed

At North Oxfordshire Academy, we are committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to achieve highly, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Pupil Premium funding provides additional support for eligible students and helps us to remove barriers to learning, maximise progress and ensure that disadvantaged students can access the same ambitious curriculum and wider opportunities as their peers.

Our approach is centred on high-quality teaching, targeted support and providing opportunities that help every student to achieve their potential.

Our approach

Our Pupil Premium strategy is rooted in research and focuses on providing high-quality teaching and learning alongside effective, targeted support.

We want disadvantaged students at North Oxfordshire Academy to experience an ambitious education that enables them to achieve highly and participate fully in school life.

Our approach includes a strong focus on:

• high-quality teaching and learning;

• an ambitious curriculum for every student;

• literacy and reading;

• attendance, behaviour and wellbeing;

• appropriate academic challenge;

• participation in wider opportunities and the co-curriculum; and

• ambitious careers education, advice and guidance.

We regularly review how Pupil Premium funding is used and evaluate its impact so that our approach can be adapted where necessary.
