EVERY CHILD, EVERY DAY, NO MATTER WHAT! 

The partnership ensures that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are not held back by poverty and can make excellent progress through a comprehensive and research-driven approach. Key elements include:

1. Holistic Support for Emotional and Social Needs:

   • Building children’s confidence and addressing low self-esteem by maintaining high expectations for behaviour and learning​.
   • Providing support for managing emotions and feelings in tailored environments conducive to learning​.

2. Focused Teaching and Learning Strategies:

   • Personalised learning approaches and targeted teaching therapies rather than interventions, enabling tailored support based on individual needs​.
   • Frequent assessment and analysis of data to pinpoint gaps and misconceptions, allowing for adjustments in teaching plans​.
   • Use of PiXL tools for diagnostic assessments, therapy, and summative testing to benchmark progress locally and nationally​.

3. Curriculum and Vocabulary Development:

   • A strong emphasis on vocabulary and oracy development across all subjects, recognising that language skills underpin success in other areas​​.
   • Supporting literacy with a systematic approach to ensure consistent reinforcement across the curriculum​.

4. Broadening Horizons and Reducing Barriers:

   • Partnerships with charities and external organisations to provide enrichment activities and opportunities outside the classroom, broadening children’s experiences and stimulating their thinking​.
   • Raising aspirations by engaging parents and supporting them as learners, fostering a community ethos​.

5. Data-Driven Decision Making:

   • The use of structured frameworks, such as DTTR (Diagnosis, Therapy, Testing, Revisit), enables a precise and forensic approach to understanding and addressing learning gaps​.
   • Regularly tracking progress and implementing targeted interventions when required​.

6. Practical Support in Early Education:

   • Dedicated resources for early years to ensure language-rich environments and prevent gaps from developing​.
   • Systematic teaching of fundamental skills like multiplication facts, which are seen as non-negotiable​.

These strategies are complemented by strong leadership, consistent evaluation of impact, and a shared commitment to equity across the partnership, ensuring that all children, regardless of background, are given the tools and opportunities to succeed.
