Event Summary

In the context of rising child poverty and a growing attainment gap, the new Government has committed to breaking down the barriers to opportunity in education. Join Westminster Insight’s annual Making the Most of Pupil Premium Digital Conference to gain insight on the next steps for pupil premium policy and funding.

How can you successfully deploy current funding to have the greatest impact on disadvantaged students in your school? We will hear from leading educational experts on how to deliver a successful evidence-based pupil premium strategy, prepare your statement, report outcomes, and demonstrate impact.

The Education Policy Institute’s recent report suggested that extending the premium to post-16 education would prevent disadvantaged students from falling further behind. Learn about the case for a 16-19 student premium to tackle inequalities and address the post-16 attainment gap.

Speakers from across local authorities, primary and secondary schools will deep dive into challenges facing disadvantaged pupils, including poor behaviour, engagement and attendance. Gain practical insights to help you break down these barriers and ensure your Pupil Premium strategy is as effective as possible.

Delivering high-quality teaching is key to improving outcomes for disadvantaged learners. Bringing together experts on teaching, we will share strategies to help you strengthen your approach to professional development, recruitment and retention in your setting.

Join us online to learn, network and share ideas with colleagues from across the country. Strengthen your approach to closing the attainment gap.
