Progress of Pupil Premium students

 

Progress for Harris Academy Aspire is measured against a baseline examination that all students undertake in their first week at the Academy. The strategies outlined above have proven to be highly effective in narrowing the gap. Last year PP students outperformed non PP students with 2 levels of progress in English and in Science, all students with PP made expected progress. The gaps between PP and non PP are small but the Academy recognises that it still needs to work further towards it. Expected progress in Maths last year was the largest gap at -12% and we have focused on ensuring this is addressed by deploying more funding into this subject area with graduate TA support and 1:1 support.
