This brand new course has been designed as a guide to the role of the pupil premium lead and is perfect for those new to the role, or those who have been in the role for some time, but are yet to undertake any formal training.
“As the DfE’s own data shows, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has erased 10 years of progress in narrowing the disadvantage gap. It is clear that greater investment is needed to recover lost learning for the current generation of pupils.”
Natalie Perera, chief executive, Education Policy Institute
The widening of the disadvantage gap looks set to continue to increase over the next academic year, meaning that the role of the pupil premium lead will be in the spotlight. Coupled with ever-growing pressures on budgets meaning that pupil premium spending will be closely monitored, it is vital that those in charge of spending have received formal training to support them in their role.

Throughout the day you will cover topics such as understanding policy and process, putting in place an action plan, monitoring impact, ensuring interventions achieve value and quality for money and delivering interventions that really work.
