3. Barriers to future attainment (For pupils eligible for PP, including high ability.
It is clear from previous reviews and analysis of the impact of Pupil Premium (PP) expenditure that “Disadvantaged” pupils do as well as their peers in almost every area. In some
areas they are in fact outperforming others. In the majority of cases a pupil’s special educational need has no bearing on their deprivation status. This is particularly the case at
The John Fielding Special School and not dissimilar at the Spalding Special Schools Federation, (Garth and Priory School’s). All schools ensure that any pupil that is making less
than expected progress is targeted for intervention. This is the case for both PP pupils and non PP.
At The John Fielding Special School there are a small number of pupils for whom deprivation could negatively impact upon their rates of progression and outcomes. The school
targets its PP resources to ensure either academic or social intervention and catch up programmes are implemented effectively.
The affordability of some aspects of extra-curricular life at the schools or the purchase of uniform, access to supplementary therapies and equipment could present a barrier to
well-being or outcomes. A proportion of PP funding is allocated to remove this as a potential issue.
