Pupil Premium
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities for children from low-income families in mainstream settings, this includes students who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) and Looked After Children.
A detailed statement of the school's Pupil Premium can be found at the end of this page..
Sports Premium Grant
The Government is providing funding of £150 million per annum for the academic years 2013/14 and 2014/15 to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. Funding will be funded through a lump sum for each school and a top up per pupil.
A detailed statement of the school's Sports Premium can be found at the end of this page.
Also, we have a blog that regularly reports on our Sporting activities. Click here.
Special Educational Needs & Inclusion
The Governing Body takes seriously its responsibility under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children; and to work together with other agencies to ensure adequate arrangements within our school to identify, assess, and support those children who are suffering harm.
Our Special Educational Needs Policy can be found at the end of this page.
Equality
At Boothville Primary School we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity in line with the Equality Act of October 2010. We seek to demonstrate this through all aspects of school life and in particular through our commitment to every child, fulfilling their potential. This commitment applies to our work in the classroom, our pupil support systems, our recruitment and retention of staff and our work in the local and wider community.
As a school we will ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to achieve the very best that they are capable of and will also guide parents on how they can support their child’s achievement. Where pupils experience barriers to their success we will work with them to address these in a sensitive and sympathetic way.
Through our work in the classroom we will ensure that pupils understand the importance of equality and what forms discrimination can take and the impact discrimination can have. We will also seek to foster within our pupils their own commitment to promoting equality.
As an employer we will not discriminate on any of the following:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender re-assignment
- Race
- Religion and belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- Marriage and civil partnership
Nor as a school or employer will we accept any of the following:
- Direct Discrimination
- Indirect Discrimination
- Discrimination by perception
- Associative discrimination
- Harassment
- Harassment by a third party
- Victimisation.
We recognise that the public sector equality duty has three aims. These aims are to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct under the Act
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
- Foster good relations between people who have a shared characteristic and those who do not
More details of our equality objectives can be found in our Single Equality Plan on the Inclusion page.
