PREMIUMS ABOUT US GENERAL PREMIUMS COVID UPDATE Following on from rising covid rates in Leicestershire, the Local Authority has asked that face masks be reintroduced in all secondary schools for students and staff in communal areas. This is a sensible way to help keep students, staff and our wider community safe from covid this winter. Therefore, from Monday, we are requesting that all students (except those with a medical exemption) wear a face mask travelling on school transport, in corridors and when queueing indoors for food. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our local communities healthy and safe. CLOSE NOTICE ✕ We use cookies on our website to ensure that we give you the best experience.

USEFUL DOCUMENTS DATE Pupil Premium Strategy 2021 - 2024 COVID CATCH UP PREMIUM As identified by Prof Becky Francis ‘The consequences of the pandemic will be far reaching—for all children, but particularly for those from socially disadvantaged families. There have been wide disparities in engagement and children have faced varying experiences during lockdown. ‘ An evidence-informed approach gives us the best chance of maximising impact. Research conducted by the EEF and others around the world strongly suggests that compensating for the negative impact of school closures on the gap will require a sustained response. Every trust school will have been affected by Covid-19 differently. The right way to support pupils will differ between schools and must be informed by the professional judgement of teachers and school leaders. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are likely to have been affected particularly severely by lockdown and may need more support to return to school and settle back into school life. – Holistic support- mentoring For many students compensating for the negative impact of school closures will require a sustained response. It is highly unlikely that a single approach will be enough. Highly likely to be beneficial to align chosen approaches with Pupil Premium spending and broader school improvement priorities DOCUMENT 16 to 19 Tuition Fund 2021 to 2022 Academic Year Covid Catchup Summer School 2021 Spending Review Covid Catch Up Premium Spending Review Post 16 Catch Up Plan 2020-21 USEFUL LINKS Beehive Term Dates Ofsted Staff Vacancies Careers Safeguarding CONTACT US 0116 272 9100 info@beauchamp.org.uk Beauchamp College Ridge Way, Oadby, Leicestershire, LE2 5TP © Lionheart Educational Trust 2021 - All Rights Reserved.
