Pupil Premium Impact Statement – Review Of 22-23


At Oxford Spires we expect all students to “be the best they can be” which means we embody the greatest ambition for all our students irrespective of their background. Our staff know our students as individuals and create a nurturing environment based on excellent relationships along with high expectations. This means that we strive for disadvantaged students to not only achieve in line with their peers but also experience the same broad and balanced curriculum.

High-quality teaching of an exceptional curriculum is key to raising standards for disadvantaged students. We offer excellent CPD to all staff to ensure that they are both competent and confident in their work. This also helps with retention of staff which supports the strong relationships between staff and students.

We use targeted academic support to raise standards both within the classroom and during carefully planned interventions. In addition, we use wider strategies to support disadvantaged students such as supporting with attendance and behavioural needs. Interventions are personalised, carefully planned and evaluated to ensure maximum impact.
