Equalities & Additional Intervention

We believe that all children should be equally valued at our Academy. We will strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and to develop an environment where all children can flourish and feel safe. We have a rage of agreed policies.

Harris Primary Academy East Dulwich is committed to inclusion and part of the Academy’s strategic planning involves developing cultures, policies and practices that include all learners. We aim to engender a sense of community and belonging, and to offer new opportunities to learners who may have experienced previous difficulties. This does not mean that we will treat all learners in the same way, but that we will respond to learners in ways that take in to account their varied life experiences and needs.

We believe that educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all learners, whatever their age, gender, demographic group, ethnicity, additional need, attainment and background. We pay particular attention to the provision for and the achievement of different groups of learners:

  • Students from families that are financially disadvantaged (PP - Pupil Premium)
  • Students who arrive with below nationally expected ability in any area 
  • Boys or Girls
  • Students from minority faiths, ethnicities, travellers, asylum seekers, refugees
  • Students who have English as an additional language (EAL)
  • Students who have Special Educational Needs or a Disability (SEND)
  • Students who are Gifted and Talented (G&T)
  • Students who are Looked After Children (LAC)
  • Young carers, sick children, children from families under stress

Pupil Premium Grant

At HPAD we are committed to promoting the progress and attainment of all our pupils, whatever their backgrounds. 

The Pupil Premium is part of our overall budget that we receive annually. We are required to account specifically about how we use this fund. It is allocated based on the number of children meeting a national criteria based on the Ever 6 Measure. That includes the total number of:

  • Pupils eligible for free school meals – within the last 6 years
  • Looked after children
  • Pupils who have been adopted

We use our funding to precisely target specific teaching and learning programmes or related activities.

We are committed to ensuring that all our pupils progress well and access high quality teaching and provision - every day. We carefully track the progress of all children, at least every half term, including our disadvantaged pupils in every class. The information is shared with all parents and carers via our termly reports detailing pupil progress, attainment and attendance.  Tracking also enables us to evaluate the impact of our teaching and intervention programmes so we can adjust provision and tailor support. That way, we can make sure we are having the desired impact on pupils’ learning and progress.

If you believe your child may be eligible, please complete the Pupil Premium Application Form below and return to the school office.

PE and Sport Premium Grant

Our Vision

At Harris Primary Academy East Dulwich we aim to establish a sporting culture that enables and encourages all children to play and enjoy sport and where those that show particular talent are able to excel.

We aim to:

  • To improve the provision of PE at Harris Primary Academy East Dulwich.
  • To provide an extra-curricular sports clubs to support uptake in sport
  • To broaden the sporting activities and experiences available to the children
  • To develop a love of sport and PE and develop a sporting culture

   How will we be spending the Sports funding and who will benefit?

  The Governors agree that the money must be used so that:

·      all children benefit regardless of sporting ability

·      that the most able children are given the opportunity to compete in high quality sporting activities

·      that staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional development

Primary School's Sports Funding - What is the Sports Premium?

The Government is providing funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding will be allocated to primary school head teachers. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. OFSTED will play a significant role in ensuring that schools target this funding in areas which will lead to clear outcomes in raising standards and opportunities in PE and school sport for all children throughout the Primary Phase. From 2017/18, all primary schools will receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil.

Purpose of funding

Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. In our last academic year (22/23) we allocated some of our sports grant on swimming lessons for our KS2 children and are proud that 81% of our year 6 children met the national curriculum for swimming requirements. 

Possible uses for the funding include:

  • Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
  • New or additional sport clubs
  • Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
  • Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
  • Running sport competitions, or increasing participation in school games
  • Buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE/sport
  • Providing places for pupils in after school sport clubs and holiday clubs
