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 range of agreed policies.

Harris Girls' Academy Bromley 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 demographic. 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 (LAPs)
  • 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 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (LGBT)
  • Students who are Looked After Children (LAC)
  • Young carers, sick children, children from families under stress

 

Pupil Premium (PP)

An Academy Governor is responsible for monitoring the Pupil Premium strategy. She visits the Academy each term and receives an update on the impact of funding. She also meets with children and the Faculty Director in charge of Pupil Premium and produces a report and feedback for the wider Governing Body.  

Attendance is monitored weekly and the attendance team produce a weekly report that is discussed at the Academy Leadership Group meeting.  Academic performance is further monitored each term and impact reports are produced and shared with the Governing Body. Attendance at enrichment activities, academic lectures and during LRC sessions is monitored weekly to ensure that Pupil Premium students are benefiting from the extended curriculum, as much as those who are not Pupil Premium.

A Pupil Premium strategy review takes place between September and October, of each academic year. The Executive Principal holds the budget for Pupil Premium and authorises all expenditure. Pupil Premium funding is currently targeted at three aspects of: student development; teaching and learning, attendance and behaviour.

Further details of our Pupil Premium spending plan can be found in the document at the bottom of this page.


Literacy catch-up

Catch-up funding is used to reduce the size of English classes, create additional ‘literacy’ lessons each week for Year 7 and Year 8, buy in additional speech and language therapy sessions and provide additional literacy sessions with a specialist HLTA.

Lucid testing and GL assessments are in place to ensure that students receiving support make progress. We provide specialist literacy support for girls who arrive with a reading age below seven years and/or KS2 below 4. We have targeted reading intervention for any student who has a reading age below 7 and will be targeting a small group through the introduction of The Hackney Trust literacy programme. 

We have a dedicated English specialist who provides mentoring and subject specialist intervention for all girls who arrive in the Academy with Reading, Writing and Speaking score of below 4.


Numeracy catch-up

There is a numeracy section in the students’ planners, which the students have out in all lessons to help them in all their subjects. The introduction of the online resource Hegarty maths, means that students are able to access a targeted online learning platform outside of lessons.

During Maths lessons, we ensure our strongest teachers are with the students who need more support with basic numeracy. We have employed a dedicated Maths HLTA who provides support in and out of lessons to ensure that all girls who arrive with a KS2 level below 4 make at least expected progress. Students who require additional numeracy support receive this via discreet maths lessons built into their personalised curriculum.
