Pupil Premium

At Westwood Academy, we believe that every young person should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or personal circumstances. Pupil Premium funding enables us to provide additional support that removes barriers to learning, raises aspirations and improves outcomes for eligible pupils.

As a specialist setting, we understand that every learner’s needs are different. We use Pupil Premium funding strategically to provide targeted academic, pastoral and therapeutic support that helps pupils engage successfully with education and develop the confidence, resilience and skills they need for the future.

Our current Pupil Premium Strategy Statement provides detailed information about how funding is allocated, the barriers our pupils face, the actions we are taking and the impact of our provision. The document can be downloaded below.

We believe every young person deserves the chance to discover their strengths and ambitions. Through carefully planned experiences, enrichment activities and personalised support, pupils develop confidence, resilience and the skills needed to thrive in education, employment and life.

Personalised Learning

Learning is tailored to individual needs, strengths and aspirations. We provide the right balance of support, challenge and opportunity for every learner.

Ambitious Futures

We believe every young person can achieve. Through high expectations and meaningful support, we help pupils prepare for successful futures.
