Why do we focus on this area?
At Canewdon CofE our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Integrity are at the heart of everything that we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. We firmly believe that every child should be given opportunities to experience the cultural capital which will enable them to have fulfilling lives.
The three school values which underpin everything that we work to achieve are based on the following definitions:
Respect. We respect all learners’ beliefs and different needs and work to meet these.
Responsibly. We ensure that all members of the school take pride in their work and know what they need to do in order to move the learning on for all members of the school community.
Integrity. We work to ensure that all members of the school community are honest and build strong moral principles.
Understanding barriers
At Canewdon CofE Primary school, and as a Federation that works collaboratively, we understand that challenging socio-economic circumstances can create additional barriers that may hinder children in their learning. However, we believe that these barriers can be overcome. In order to do so, we believe that excellent teachers can inspire and move all pupils' learning forward. Through the use of professional development, sharing outstanding practice and collaboration with other teachers, our teachers continue to grow and help children overcome their own barriers to learning. We believe that all children need to have opportunity to take part in a variety of different experiences.
To meet the different needs of all children, we have identified a range of different and individual barriers to learning. We work with pupils, parents, teachers and families to identify these individual barriers to learning and success which we then address. It would be inappropriate to comment on these individual barriers as they are personal to individuals. However, there are several that have become a whole school focus. These are:

Accountability (2019-2020)
Headteachers and governors are responsible for deciding how to best allocate the funds.
The progress and outcomes of pupils that receive Pupil Premium funding is closely monitored and tracked to ensure that we are working to close the gap between these pupils and all other pupils.
The leadership team will regularly and rigorously monitor, evaluate and review the strategies that are put into place and report to the governing body about the impact of spending, the progress of pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium and the outcomes.
The leaders will use a variety of mechanisms to monitor, review and evaluate the provision it offers. These include, but are not limited to:
The Governing Body in turn, will use a variety of systems and processes (including, where necessary, external review) to review the reports and to hold the school to account.
The Pupil Premium provision is reviewed annually in the Autumn Term and monitored termly thereafter. The data and the development plan are also reviewed termly.
The next full internal review is due at the start of the Spring Term 2020.
