Successful schools…… Take a long term approach, using the funding for early interventions as well as for preparing students for national tests and exams. They take a whole school approach, identifying every child’s needs, and proportionally part- funding the appropriate interventions with pupil premium funding to create economies of scale. They focus on high attainers too, stretching them academically. (‘Premium Pupils’, National Education Trust)
