Pupil Premium Grant Report 2015-2016
All members of staff and the Academy Council accept responsibility for ‘socially
disadvantaged’ pupils and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and
academic needs within the school environment.
Oasis Academy Fir Vale is committed to closing the attainment gap for
disadvantaged and vulnerable children. The Pupil Premium forms a vital part of that
process. Pupil Premium funding is allocated to support any pupils or groups of pupils
the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
Provision will be made through:
• Facilitating access to education
• Facilitating access to the curriculum
• Alternative support and intervention
Reporting Pupil Premium
How Pupil Premium funding has been spent and the impact on inclusion, progress
and attainment is explained in this report which will be published annually on the
Academy website. Attainment and progress data is collected half termly and
analysed to ensure groups of learners identified as disadvantaged are making good
progress from their individual starting points towards national expectations and that
intervention/spend is having a positive impact. Other data is also collected and
analysed on a regular basis by the Pastoral and Extended Services Team which
includes attendance, participation in after school activities and any incidents of
behaviour that aren’t in line with Academy policy. Data reports are discussed at
Academy Council meetings on a regular basis.
Reporting to Parents
Parents can obtain information on the Pupil Premium funding and how it is spent via
the Academy website, alternatively they can speak to a member of the Academy
Leadership Team.
