Throughout the Broadleaf Partnership Trust we aim to use our Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium alongside each other to improve the attainment of all pupils with a clear focus on our most disadvantaged. Our intent is that pupils make good progress across the whole curriculum.

We use various approaches to identify the specific challenges faced by our disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils. Potential strategies to overcome key challenges are carefully considered using evidence-based research published by the Education Endowment Fund (EEF).

Our premia strategy includes targeted spending across 3 key areas: Teaching, targeted academic support, and wider approaches. High quality teaching is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantaged attainment gap and therefore improving the quality of teaching and learning is a clear focus of our premia strategy.

All strategies funded by the premia are evaluated based on their measured impact on pupil outcomes. Our premia strategy is a longer-term 3-year plan, which is republished each academic year following a review of the current document.
