Performance

Pupil Premium, Exam Outcomes & Ofsted at St Ivo Academy


At St Ivo Academy, we are committed to ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed and reach their potential. Our Pupil Premium Strategy outlines how additional funding is used to support academic progress and wider development. For an overview of recent performance, including GCSE and A Level results, please see our Exam Results section below. You can also view the findings from our most recent inspection, where we were rated Good in all areas, see the Ofsted Report section for more detail.

Pupil Premium

St Ivo Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium Strategy Statement 2024

Across Astrea Academy Trust, we continue to strive to address any barriers faced by pupils who experience social disadvantage. The evidence-informed approaches we adopt across the Trust are rooted in tacking disadvantage in the classroom through supporting quality first teaching, targeted approaches/interventions and in relation to supporting wider pupil level issues such as attendance.  All of which are in line with the EEF Guide to the Pupil Premium.

Many of the pupil premium chosen approaches are longer term.  This is in line with the EEF guidance on Putting Evidence to Work – A School’s Guide to Implementation which states that interventions need to be implemented effectively and over time, allowing for new activities to be embedded and evaluated to create sustainable positive outcomes for disadvantaged learners.

Who can I contact about Pupil Premium?

  • If you think you may qualify for pupil premium due to free school meal entitlement or you are an armed services family you can apply online at the web sites below:

What is the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional government funding for publicly funded schools in England for two policies:

  • Raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential and to close the gap between them and their peers.
  • Supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.

‘Disadvantaged pupil’ is defined as:

  • Pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years.
  • Looked-after Children (LAC) in social care, and post-LAC children (adoption; a special guardianship order; a child arrangements order; a residence order).

The Department for Education encourages schools to use the PPG allocation (which is in addition to main school funding) to tackle educational equality, including narrowing the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. A good education is regarded as the key to improving life chances.

St Ivo uses Pupil Premium to raise attainment, and also enhance personal development. The approach at St Ivo is linked to the seven building blocks identified by the National Foundation for Educational Research as having success in raising attainment for disadvantaged students.
