Support your disadvantaged pupils with a strategic, evidence-informed review of your Pupil Premium provision. Led by experienced education consultants, our service helps schools refine their approach, demonstrate impact, and align with Ofsted expectations.

Why Commission a Pupil Premium Review?

Disadvantaged pupils continue to face significant barriers to learning, attendance, and wellbeing. A well-structured Pupil Premium strategy is essential for closing gaps and ensuring equity. Our external review provides expert insight to help schools evaluate current practice, identify strengths, and address areas for improvement.


Pupil Premium and the Inclusion Judgement

Under the current Ofsted framework, the Inclusion judgement considers how effectively schools meet the needs of all learners, especially those who are disadvantaged. Inspectors look for evidence of strategic planning, targeted support, and measurable impact. A robust Pupil Premium strategy is central to demonstrating inclusive practice, curriculum accessibility, and improved outcomes.


What Does the Pupil Premium Review Involve?

Our tailored review includes:

  • Pre-visit self-evaluation and analysis of pupil performance data
  • Review of barriers to learning and contextual challenges
  • Evaluation of strategy documents, including the DfE reporting template
  • Impact analysis across the tiered model:
    • High-quality teaching
    • Targeted academic support
    • Wider strategies
  • Identification of best practice and areas for development
  • Collaborative action planning with measurable success criteria
