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) |
|
A B C D E F G |
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) |
|
H I J |
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 |
