3. Barriers to future attainment (for pupils eligible for PP, including high ability)

As numbers of PP children in school are low, we have looked at individual barriers to learning in order to inform our actions.

Possible In-school barriers (issues to be addressed in school, such as poor oral language skills)

Teaching quality

Curriculum

Resources

Academic confidence and resilience

Behaviour

Lower levels of spoken communication skills

Gaps in basic skills development – reading, writing and mathematics

Possible External barriers (issues which also require action outside school, such as low attendance rates)

Attendance / punctuality

Family disengagement in learning processes – reduced opportunities for home learning and curriculum enrichment

Low self- esteem and self–regulation, need to develop engagement and more positive attitudes to learning
