Pupil Premium Project

We have successfully delivered interactive and motivational workshops for the Pupil Premium Students within each year group at Shire Oak Academy, focusing on improving confidence, aspirations and embedding effective study skills into their every day practice.

We also worked with staff during CPD time, as well as parents after school for our ‘parent and child’ events.

The ultimate aim is that these skills will continue to be used at home and in the classroom long after we have gone, and by getting everyone involved as part of a whole-school strategy, we are able to achieve this.

“Students have responded well to all workshops. The staff workshop during CPD time was also evaluated highly. All speakers have been strong. I look forward to seeing this develop further over time”
