                                                  Nexus Education Schools Trust (NEST) Principles:

 Educational, social and emotional outcomes for disadvantaged children are the responsibility of everyone.
 We agree to make a difference and be passionate about making a difference to the outcomes and life chances for our disadvantaged children.
 Our PPG strategy comes from the ground up - winning the hearts and minds of teachers and support staff.
 Disadvantaged children are entitled to a full curriculum which means we will think creatively about when and how we run interventions.
 We are committed to enhancing the cultural capital of disadvantaged pupils - filling up their ‘cultural bank account’ through experiences, engaging
  learning etc.
 Identification of barriers to learning must be very specific e.g. not just "improve reading" but "improve fluency or reading speed".
 We are committed to honest evaluative judgements about how effective our strategies and interventions have been.
 We are committed to being intentional about building positive relationships with disadvantaged children and their families.

Measuring the impact of PPG spending

The progress of all pupils is tracked systematically and interventions evaluated and adapted accordingly. Pupil progress meetings include analysis of PP
(Pupil Premium) children specifically. Progress of children receiving PPG is formally monitored termly. This analysis is used to adjust the provision for
children as appropriate.

The take-up of PP children in extra-curricular activities is monitored and the impact on all areas of child’s development assessed through lesson observations
and evidence in books.

The Local Committee scrutinise the progress of children receiving PPG termly.

PPG expenditure, and, in particular, its impact is monitored termly by the Senior Leaders, and Local Committee.

Pupils’ views will be sought in terms of attitude and enthusiasm to learning, strategies that support learning, and issues that hinder learning.
