Being a headteacher comes with a great deal of responsibility.
It’s easy to understand why: schools are often the heart of a community – performing a variety of different roles for the families in our respective local contexts.
This is certainly true for our rural primary school, which is a focal point of the surrounding village.
To provide this support, it’s crucial for us to know our school community, and understand the challenges they face.
A key priority for any school is making sure that all children, particularly those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, are given every chance to thrive. The pupil premium is one of the most important tools we have to achieve this shared goal.
