In addition to their allocated school budget, all schools receive additional funding to help target support for groups of students across the school. Schools are required to plan effectively to ‘close the gap’ between key groups of students and accelerate progress for those students who may have either performed below the expected standard at key stages of their education or fallen behind due to school closure. There are 4 main strategies which impact on the work at Oldbury Wells School (including Bridgnorth 6th Form):
Pupil Premium
Publicly-funded schools in England get extra funding from the government to help them improve the attainment of their disadvantaged pupils. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pupil-premium/pupil-premium
16-19 Tuition Fund
Additional funding for one-year for schools, colleges and other 16 to 19 providers to mitigate the disruption to learning arising from coronavirus (COVID-19). https://www.gov.uk/guidance/16-to-19-funding-16-to-19-tuition-fund
