The government provides pupil premium funding for schools in proportion to the number of students in each.
How we use our Pupil Premium
At Weavers Academy we believe every student can achieve success. We use the additional funding provided through Pupil Premium by providing personalized support to help overcome the barriers to learning.
We aim to improve standards so that:
Overall attendance and persistent absence falls for disadvantaged students
Increased proportion of learners entitled to the additional funding achieve the basic measures, particularly in English and mathematics, and narrowing the gap to all other students nationally.
Outcomes across the whole curriculum improve and engagement and participation in extended learning activities increases.
Please find below the documents relating to the Pupil Premium funding, catch-up funding and the Academy CUF Action Plan.
Weavers Academy celebrates record breaking attendance!
We are delighted to celebrate another record-breaking year for the attendance of pupils at Weavers in 2023-2024, alongside our success in 2022-2023.
Is your child not coming to school today?
All parents must notify us of absence before 8am on every day of absence.
We recognise that children get ill from time to time, but we must know where all students are if they are not in school.
Please use our school’s number to report absence – 01933 222830. Mrs Butlin, our Attendance Improvement Coordinator, will take your call and offer any support you may need.
Please ensure you leave enough specific detail for us to make an absence authorisation decision. If we require more information, we may call you back or visit home if we need more information.
The attendance team follow up every absence daily including minibus visits in the case of unexplained absence and welfare calls. If your son/daughters absence remains unexplained for the full day you will be automatically added to our safeguard and welfare checks which run from 7am-8am daily. Please always let us know if your child is not going to be at school.
